What Causes Dry Heaves While On Lexapro?
I was put on Lexapro about 2 1/2 months ago, just recently ( 4 days ago) the doctor increased my dose. I have been extremely stressed and believe I have alot of anxiety as well. Every morning for the last couple weeks I have had the dry heaves in the morning and then don t really feel like eating during the day. I have to force myself to eat because I know I should. I have been loosing weight which i m assuming is from not eating. My stomach is growling like I am hungry but I don t want to eat?

Hi,
There can be underlying GI infection, H. Pylori responsible for the intense heaves and appetite disturbances which should be sorted out with the help of lab tests, upper GI endoscopy for better precise care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
