"i have anxiety and slight depression due to stress.  this is my first week on lexapro and i was given 10mg which i  couldn&#039;t take as it made me very out of sorts, dizzy, stomach issues. so cut it down to 5mg symptoms are still there with the &quot;out of it&quot; feeling dazed and my body feels kinda tingly/numb and i have a headache which i don&#039;t know if it&#039;s lexapro related or allergy related. also makes me jittery. i&#039;m really sleepy too and i take it at night.  not sure i&#039;m going to keep taking it. i don&#039;t like this out of it feeling.  but i am calmer and not so quick to yell at my kids."
