I've experienced the same thing just three days of the Lexapro, but I haven't decided if its just the anxiety (which often causes similar symptoms) or medication side effects. I think I'll wait to let my body get used to it as long as it doesn't get worse. Good luck to you.

I took it for almost a month, even tried switching to night time only. But, it was so bad of spaced out....I could not recall my drive from to or from somewhere....I just decided an anxiety med for me will do just fine. I have taken others in the past, but they just never worked for me. Idk about the new stuff past 2006. I refuse on taking it bc of past experiences. Effexor was the only one in my teens I took that seemed to help maybe a little.

It takes a while to adjust unfortunately. I would give it about two weeks. I've been on it for two years now, and while I have to take it at night because it makes me sleepy, I don't have any more side effects other than that I'm also on a very very small dose. I'm tiny and med sensitive. So maybe the dose is too high? Either way I hope you feel better

I took your advice @A MyMSTeam Member and started taking it at night, and I feel much better! Thank you!

I had to switch to taking it at night only since I find that I am unusually med sensitive. After a few weeks of feeling spacey, I felt normal again. If you want to switch do not stop suddenly. Make sure to taper with docs orders as with drawls are horrible!!!!!
