Gilly 1086 Posted July 26, 2014 Anti depressants affect everyone differently lacey but it is common to experience increased anxiety and anxiety symptoms in the first few days/weeks, depending on the individual. I have known of people to feel shaky, agitated and unable to rest at first. The side effects should start to pass as your body adjusts. If it is too much for you call your doctor and ask them what to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laceymayxxoo 7 Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks so much gilly for the reply I'll give it a week if it doesn't get better I'll go back the doctor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nate88 3 Posted July 27, 2014 When I was on antidepressants I was very nauseous from it, which didnt help at all. But the side effects faded after a week or so. If it's still bad after a week, go and see your doctor again and ask him to prescribe something else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nate88 3 Posted July 28, 2014 people react to drugs in different ways, and im not even sure if i even had those symptoms were from the drugs or due to anxiety about taking the medication in the first place. Either way, the side effects subside Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NervousNik 11 Posted July 29, 2014 I felt shaky on Lexapro and I would confuse it with thinking my blood sugar was low which lead me to over eat. but Lexapro is a great drug, give it some time and if you feel worse it never hurts to call the Doc.
