I have been taking lexamil 20mg and welbutrin 300mg together for the past month and am experiencing extreme headaches ## Have you contacted your doctor? There is a possibility that either one of these could cause headaches as a side effect and taking both may just be too much for you.

I took lexamil for 3 months and gradually came off it. Now almost a month after i no longer take lexamil i have noticed that i am gaining weight rapidly and feeling bloated and uncomfortable all the time. Weight gain has occurred even though i am dieting and exercising currently. Please help ## Since you have already stopped the Lexamil, and you're experiencing the weight gain, and bloating, over a month after, it is most likely unrelated to the medication. Ref: Lexamil Information Has anything else changed in your lifestyle, or eating habits, recently? It could also be a natural change due to aging, our bodies do change with time. Are you on any other medications?

Hi, My doctor has prescribed 10 mg lexamil for me and I havnt started taking it yet. I've been suffering with anxiety for a while and taking .5 mg alzam and 7.5 mg zopiclone to manage the condition. However the last 3 months ive been having tight chest pains, been for ecgs xrays etc, all clear..doc prescribed muscle relaxant which works a little bit but I find if i take half a zopiclone it really eases off the tightness immediately. I know this has something to do with gaba receptors but what I would really like to know is if anyone else has had these symptoms and if going on 10mg lexamil in conjunction wit the alzam n zopiclone will help with the anxiety? ## Hello, Ash! How are you? Yes, Lexamil might help more, but it can take about 4 to 5 weeks to reach its full level of efficacy...

I have been on Lexamil 2 mg for about 8 years. How long does it take to go out of your system. I am n my 6th day and feel energized, a bit of headache.... ## Hello, Claudette! How are you? It takes anywhere from 135 to 192 hours, based on its half-life, so that means 8 days, at the most. However, that does not necessarily mean that the side effects and withdrawal effects will be gone within that time frame, because that is a different matter. A headache can be a normal withdrawal effect, you may also experience dizziness, diarrhea, round depression and anxiety. Is there anything else I can help with?
