"wasn&#039;t sleeping well and was having career-related anxiety.  i went to my pcp and he put me on ambien and lexapro.  i was very concerned about effect lexapro would have on me, but i went ahead and started it.  first day i was a little tingly but no other immediate physical response.  the next morning i woke up retching/dry heaving.  i spent the whole day having hot and cold spells.  my ears were burning.  my head felt congested but without any sinus issues.  i was severely agitated/restless.  i couldn&#039;t sit still.  felt sick all day.  i took the pill again the second morning (yesterday), but today woke up retching again.  still very restless with some twitching of arms and legs.  didn&#039;t take the medicine again today."
