I began taking Lexapro one week ago. My Dr. told me to begin with 5mg for the first 10 days which is the dosage I'm currently on. Over the past two days I've had a lot of pressure in the back and top of my head. Has anyone experienced this and is this normal?
Yes, the 5th day I took the generic lexapro I had such bad cranial pressure on the top and back of my head too. I couldn't sleep all night long cuz it was bothering me so much. Plus, before the pressure started I noticed my right eye was getting dry and later on my vision got slightly blurry and was having tremors. Then this morning I woke up in sweat and had the chills when I got out of bed. That's when I said enough of this! I called my doctor and he said to discontinue my medication and go see a psychiatrist.
