> My doctor added Lexapro to my "cocktail" mix and I cannot tolerate it. I started out with the 10mg tab. My memory was impaired (couldn't recognize my friends' name when said to me) and I could sit and daydream for hours. The worst part on top of it all was the nausea. I self-prescribed myself down to 5mg. The fog cleared; but the nausea turned my stomach inside out. Then I self-prescirbed down to 1/4 of a tablet. I'm still okay; but the nausea is still really bad. I called my psychiatrist and let him know what I was doing. At that time he said he wanted me back up to 5 mg. There isn't any way..I have been seeing my psychiatrist every 3 weeks and fortunately I see him next week. I just can't handle the nausea.

I'm curious, how did you cut down your prescription? Did you actually cut up your tablets? I've heard this can have an adverse affect on some of the medications that are supposed to be time-released. I know you can buy 5 mg tabs. Just curious here.

I figure you've tried taking them with and without food... Well, keep us posted as to what your pdoc recommends.

Wishing you well - P
