What Causes Impulsiveness And Distraction After Taking Generic Lexapro For Anxiety?
I am currently taking generitc lexapro for anxiety, but am not feeling like myself, I feel more impulsive and am having a hard time just keeping up with the normal things like cleaning and paying bills. I get distracted easily and get nothing done...is this a side effect and is there a better choice of medication for my anxiety?
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You should not take self medicines for any health problems. Consult a psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment. I sincerely opine that anxiety is universal problem and worrying about can be trouble. Learn to live with it. Do not try to oppose or overcome or defeat your anxiety. If you try these, obsession may result. Researches proves that medicines alone cannot cure anxiety disorder. Along with medicine you should practice psychotherapy techniques to streamline your life style and meditation and yoga techniques to calm your mind, body, streamline your metabolism and thinking style. Please consult a psychologist.
If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to over come your problems.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
