By the way, the morning after the evening I started taking the Lexapro, I had things happening: yawning until I thought I'd break my jaw because I couldn't control how wide my mouth opened (about 1 every 2 minutes), dizziness; on the second day, I woke up and couldn't go to work, I was so anxious; same with the next day-it took three days before I could leave the house. My doctor finally called back when I told him I took myself off of my 10mg, daily; I'd had no side-effects stopping the drug. He changed it to 5mg, daily. It made everything worse. Everything happened within two weeks. But, then again, that was just the way it effected me.
