Hello everyone. 

A week ago I had an appointment with a psychiatrist, and after listing all the problems I am encountering, I was diagnosed with anxiety and was put on 10 mg of Cipralex (which is similar to Lexapro as I understood). The direction was to take 5 mg a day for the first 6 days, then take a full 10 mg starting at day 7.

I experienced mild headache and nausea that kept fluctuating, and also noticed that my appetite went down significantly (I usually binge eat which is a problem I highlighted to the psychiatrist). In addition, I also noticed that I enjoy music a lot more.

Today I took the full 10 mg dose. The experience is kind of different as I did not notice any headache or nausea, my mood is elevated and I am experiencing some euphoria. However, I feel a little anxious while still feeling calm if that makes sense. My jaws feel tempted to grind my teeth, and I am experiencing some tremors.

This is my experience so far, I will try to keep updating what I am experiencing along the journey. 

Has anyone experience similar effects? I would be happy to read through the different experiences.

Cheers :)
