"i started 10mg lexapro 5 days ago for anxiety. i had been free from mirtazapine for about 9 days before starting. at first i though i had a tummy bug and stayed in bed the next day.... 5 days later and i&#039;m still in bed and yesterday spoke with my doc who said to stop taking them. i was a complete nervous wreck... more than i had ever been without meds. neither of the previous 2 meds (paxtine and mirtazapine) had side effects like this. this med is not for me sadly."
