Is this normal with Lamitcal or possibly Lexapro?

Question from Isabella K.:

I just got put on Lamitcal and Lexapro and I am so sick when I first take them that if I move from my seat I am going to vomit. This happened yesterday (first day taking) and today I took with food and it still is happening. Is this a common reaction that will go away?

According to a news received, FDA has approved a new drug for ED called Stendra?

This drug becomes effective in just 15 minutes and is more potent and long lasting than other drugs in similar category.
Don't you think with such inventions human sex may become more of a chemical affair ?

What are the chances of getting a medical waiver?

Question from Gavin F.:

I have what has recently been called Asburger's syndrome (I thik that's right, basically its a touch of ADD, OCD, and a whole bunch of other things, but just a touch of each. Since it wasn't formally recognised when I was first diagnosed, I was simply diagnosed with ADD).
Anyways, I'm applying to the Air Force Academy for the school year starting June 2007, and it says I can't have taken any medication for ADD, ADHD, or any other psychological disorder within the past 12 Months.
It's currently October 9 and I'm still taking 60mg of Strattera everyday.
What are the chances, if any, that I can get a waiver to still attend the school?

Does lexapro cause hair loss?

Question from Trinity M.: I was on zoloft for a few years for anxiety and it worked okay but not too great (probably because I got used to it after a few years)...so I switched to lexapro. I have been on lexapro for 2-3 weeks already and am reading stuff online that lexapro can cause hair loss. Anyone have experience w/ this or w/ taking lexapro? Thanks!
Rachel W. say: As an aside, I don't know if it's the Lexapro or life in general, but I put on about 15 lbs. after I started this stuff and I can't seem to shake it. I've tried going off the med but my TMJ gives me excruciating migraines, earaches, teeth pain, jaw pain, face pain, neck pain, you name it, so in the end the 15 lbs doesn't seem so bad and this SSRI is the only treatment that has worked to alleviate my temporomandibular joint disorder. Try not to read too much online most of it is untrue and will just scare you. Everyone's physiology is different so the medication will be tolerated as such.
