Question:
Does anyone know much about the pill Lexapro?
My husband has Anxiety and he went to the Doctors and they gave him Lexapro. The only thing is he's been actting all Depressed lately. It kinda sucks! We both told the Doctor NOT to put him on any Anti-Depression crap because he has been on it before and made him feel worse.
So, does anyone know much about this or has anyone taken it that can tell me about it??

N2Psych4Now - To answer the WORSE part.. He is sleeping ALOT, feels crappy, and is unhappy. The Doctor said it would be like this for 2 weeks or so but I dont want him to be like this for another DAY! We told the Doctor he has been on Anti-Depression pills and they didnt work they just made him feel like crap and want to kill himself. So yea he just needs help with his mind racing, and freak out over the littlest of things.
Answers:
anxiety is one symptom of a much larger picture. many are unaware of the liver connection. your husband needs to be tested and seen for liver disease. nash, hepatitis b (dna virus) or hepatitis c (an rna virus) as well as diabetes type 1 or 2 can cause anxiety.
it happens when the toxicities build up in the body because the liver is either fighting off something or has liver damage. the other filteration organs have to work harder to, to take up the slack the liver is unable to handle.
lexapro is a good antidepressant-usually less side effects, but again, it's not for everyone. if you have gone down the road before with others, chances are it could be his liver-even if his alt and ast levels in a standard liver panel test, were normal. a person can still have liver disease-ie, hbv or hcv. most doctors are unaware of the alt/ast issue.
i would think that buspar would be better-it is used for anxiety. lexapro is an antidepressant.
good luck! i have been where you are!
