Low heartrate on lexapro
Has anyone else experienced a low heart rate while on lexapro. Took imipramine on/off for 20+ years with the only side effect being heartrate in the 90's - then blood pressure started to go up a little. Went off imipramine and doctor put me on lexapro - now have gained a little weight, am tired, clenching jaw at night, blood pressure back down, but pulse is constantly in the 50's which is freaking me out a little. Have been on lexapro for 6 months now - libido gone also....thinking about weaning off the lexapro and taking nothing or going back to the imipramine. Has anyone else experienced the low heart rate while on it?
Actually, a slight INCREASE in heart rate is common...so you're pretty typical Canuck!
I have been the exact opposite... feel like my heart is beating a bit faster all the time on Lexapro but I'm still in ramp up stage so could be side effects....
These are issues you definitely want to discuss with your doctor. You may do better on another medication. Unforunately a good deal of people have sexual side effects as well. Switching meds could improve all of these things for you.
