Hi there,

I'm getting quite fed up now with the nausea and metallic taste I've been experiencing on Lexapro. I started it 3 weeks ago at 10mg, I am still on 10mg and thought the nausea was getting better a week or so ago but have been feeling awful for the past couple of days, the nausea seems to be getting worse and have this awful metallic taste in my mouth all the time, also have an upset stomach.... Went to my GP this morning and she prescribed Maxolon for nausea, took one hours ago and it didn't seem to help at all!
Has anyone else experienced this after 3 weeks? Did it go away?
Have been prescribed it to help with anxiety and depression. Was experiencing severe anxiety including panic attacks and have been for many years now, have tried CBT and other therapy in the past and also other medication... Just getting desperate as have been off work for a month now and was hoping to go back soon but feeling so sick at the moment! On the positive side, I have noticed that my moods are better but still feeling quite anxious when I have to go out alone (I have agoraphobia) but heard it's not uncommon for it to take a few more weeks before it acts on the anxiety.
I am seeing a psychiatrist next week so hoping they will be able to help but in the meantime it would really help me to hear your experiences, especially positive ones!!
