Answers:
Lexapro does list increased thoughts of suicide as one of it's side effects, but it's not listed as being a more common side effect!. I took it for a while & it seemed to help me a bit at 1st (I took 10 mgs), but then just kinda seemed to stop & I still had suicidal thoughts too!. I should mention I have bipolar disorder 1 & was taking another drug at the same time, but I know it wasn't the other one because I cut it out!. I just saw my doctor today & he droped the Lexapro imediatley!. Please contact your doctor & tell him/her about these side effects asap!. It is NOT normal!. There are many others you can try!. One of the newest antidepressants is called Cymbalta, usualy the newer they are, the less side effects!. I have had good results on Wellbutrin XL to, but everyone is different!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've taken it and it DID help me!. It helped decrease my depression and anxiety a lot!. But I had to stop it because it started giving me headaches!. That was the only side-effect it gave me!.

It is possible for some anti-depressants to increase suicidal thoughts in adolscence and some young adults!. If you are getting more depressed, having suicidal thoughts, and cutting more, PLEASE call your doctor RIGHT AWAY so (s)he can start to titrate you off of it and start you on something else!. Anti-depressants work differently in everybody's systems, therefore it's kinda like trial-and-error until you find the one that works best for you!. But PLEASE CALL YOUR DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY!. !!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

A side effect of Lexapro is increasing suicidal thoughts!. If this happens, STOP TAKING IT!! It worked for me for a while, but then stopped!. They switched me to a different med, that worked and made a huge difference!. Hang in there!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I take Lexapro, and it has done good things for me!. But, no two people react the same to a given medication!. You might talk with your doctor and see what they recommend!. If you are on a low dose, they may want to increase it - or try a different medication!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
