Lexapro withdrawl and started on Valdoxan!!

Posted by theconfusedone on February 21, 2010, at 4:59:33

Hi, I have been on lexapro 20mg and zyprexa 10mg for the last 6months. My doc decided I should quit them last week and begin a course of Valdoxan 25mgs 1 @ night. It is one week on and I feel absolutely terrible with nausea although strangely enough my deppression seems to be improving.
How long can I expect the nausea to go on and when the Valdoxan kicks in should the withdrawls cease???
Thanks

Hi,
just wondering would it be safe to stop the withdrawls by taking a lower dose with the valdoxan (agomelatine)25mg or will I stick out the suffering..
It is not pleasant and i wont get to talk to my Doc until Tuesday.
Thanks

You might not feel better when the Valdoxan kicks in after a couple of weeks.
I felt afternoon anxiety.

Have you discontinued the lexapro?

If I were you I would at least consider halving the Valdoxan to 12.5 and taking some minimal Lexapro until your system settles down.

I have just started back on lexapro after a failed attempt with valdoxan.. It made me feel awful, doc had bumped it up to 50mg a night and it has me wriggling with high anxiety since I started it or since I stopped the lexapro. I dont know which is to blame but I think I'm safer with the lexapro as I've been on it so long now.
