Does Lexapro 10mg make you feel high when you take it?

I have to say I made sure that I started out with five mg for two weeks before I started 10mg. I had dry mouth the first time I took it and honestly I think it was because of the anxiety I had about taking it. I take it right before bed so I don't experience any side effects during the day . Everyone is different so I am sure everyone reacts different. This pill has leveled me out to being more relaxed and just more focused. There is still times I can get nervous or overwhelmed but you learn to breathe and help yourself. Therapy is key too if you have time to see someone.

Do some research and stop reading anecdotal baloney on social media threads. Antidepressants are antidepressants ~ you don't get *high* on them unless it's a placebo effect that you have because you're looking to get *high*.

I have been on lexopro for a long time end I never got high on that but every person is different so that's something that you need to talk to you doctor maybe lexopro is not for you best of luck

I've been on it a little less than a year the first three weeks were hell I felt sleepy never high just tired . My jaw clenched like crazy I felt nauseous and cranky . I stuck it through because the panic attacks crippled my life to agoraphobia . Three months in I noticed a huge change . From going from daily panic attacks to months without one is amazing !!! I use to have so many horrible thoughts and my attacks took me to the hospital . Now I'm out again living life driving ... my only complaint is major weight gain I workout and diet and still gained 10 pounds . I feel tired slot . I changed my medicine for 7 am instead of 7 pm and that made a huge difference for insomnia ( side effect ) and racing ( happens occasionally ).i suggest this to anyone with gad or panic disorder

everyone reacts differently to medications, but I never heard of getting high off an antidepressant. It is not one of the side effects.

When I started Lexapro 10 mg/day it felt very similar to getting high on ecstasy. Energized, uncontrollable laughter, but also nervous, sweaty hands and insomnia. This faded over the next three days. My doc had never heard of anyone with this reaction before, so I think its fairly uncommon. Most people instead feel low/depressed in the beginning.

On the other hand, Lexapro did nothing for me after those few days. Did not lift my mood, did not do anything positive, even tested higher dose five weeks later, still didn't do anything for me, just nasty side effects.

I want to know how this medicine make you feel once you start taking it

Cut the pill in half and just take 5 mg for 5 days. The most common side effect is loss of libido. I started taking lexapro to treat depression. Now I m depressed because I lost my libido. Will Wellbutrin be better?

Please do not continue on this medication. I am a pharmacist and I made the mistake of starting on lexapro. It is like a spiderweb... It won't let you off them once you start. Discontinuation syndrome has ruined my life... Twice. Bill

DO NOT take a SSRI unless you really need it. I went crazy was very careless, Lost my wife and went in debt doing crazy stuff like strip clubs and chasing trashy women.

I have been on Lexapro 10 MG for 4 months now and it has completely taking away my anxiety and panic attacks. I am so thankful my doctor prescribed me this medication. It has never made me feel high or weird. haven't had any major side effects.

Lexapro is an SSRI antidepressant. I've taken many of these types of antidepressants over the years and they do not make you high at all. It is not a controlled substance. It simply works on the chemicals in your brain to make you feel normal again. It helps with anxiety too. These drugs usually take about 2 weeks to feel any effects.

I would start by cutting them in half 5mg... for few days then go up to 10mg
that's what I'm doing, but I'm so impatient. Usually, nights are better but tonight for some reason I feel lonely and a bit afraid.

Well I just started on lexapro and on day 4 I was feeling fair, but today is day 5 and I'm feeling lonely and anxious. I dont want to take a xanax, for they put me to sleep and I wake up with panic. So I wait till im ready to fall asleep for the night and take xanax then. Hate this lonely feeling at night. Any suggestions?
