New Anxiety Med Lexapro

First thing: you are in charge, so what you say goes with your body.

Second thing, not everyone responds positively to an initial dose of a novel drug. Have you considered asking your doctor if it would make sense to halve the dosage to see if it works, but also helps you to feel fewer hot flashes (if I understand your term 'flush')?

Thirdly, if you stop the Lexapro, and you still feel terrible, what's left.....or what's next? Would your cardiologist feel a bit piqued if he/she learned you had not thought to ask if he/she could gladly offer an alternative that you could live with? Yeah, quite possibly. If you need or would just rather continue 'working with' this physician, you should probably contact them and let them know how you're doing. I'll bet they'll be sympathetic and offer a brilliant alternative therapy for you. But...............ya gotta ask!

I have talked to physician. He asked me to give it a couple weeks, I gave it 30 days. I think I’m on such a low dosage, it is still interacting with the pain med. It amplifies the serotonin. I am waiting for the doctor to return a call or let me set up a telemedicine appointment. Thank you!

Do not stop taking lexapro with out a doctor. I have Klonopin for anxiety

You have to wean off Lexapro. Don't do it cold turkey by yourself.
