Moderator's Note: TDS Mods, this gets into your territory on page two.

Recently my friend offered me a lexapro, saying that I was useless. In the spirit of denying everything he says I decided to see if I could prove him wrong. I will right down the duration of the trip as far as I can remember.
0.00 Took the pill in my college chemistry class.
0.45 Face feels hot, sweating a lot
1.20 unending happiness, absolute euphoria, infinite energy, no hunger even after not eating all of the day (this is around 2pm).
2.30 rushing through conversations, not caring, I felt I was able to do anything.
4.20 making a complete and absolutely hilarious ass of myself, looking back upon it I have no idea if I actually thought a thing before it came put of my mouth.
6.20 no coherence, the thoughts come out as I speak, no barrier, 3 or 4 thoughts trying to be made into speech at once.
7.30 blank. I remember sitting in a car with strangers. I do know for sure I didn't do any drugs since I had a full drug test for work two days later.
8.50 still absolutely infinite energy, lying in bed, almost 11, I cannot sleep
9.15 lying in the darkness, music is playing as loud as a train in a subway statin. There is no music
9.25 closed eye visuals, absolutely insane yet exhilarating images that were hard for me to distinguish between my world and it
9.50 open eyed visuals, floating Teddy bears, guitars, cats running around in the air, eyes, and the voices, the god damn voices, ripping me apart and forcing me to deal with everything I thought was done ( I do think it forced me to become someone better ).
10.20 felt so good, my mind felt like kittens barfing rainbows from the holes the voices tore. Also happened to see it moments after I thought of it, not so cute when kittens claw their way out of your brain and start barfing.
10.45 did not even care anymore. Nothing can scare me, I could do anything, absolute narcissism at this point.
18.00 woke up in a ditch.

are you sure this was lexapro...?

sounds like somone gave you a psychadelic drug.... sounds more like a 2c related compound

i severely doubt that an SSRI could do this to anyone

i'd ask your friend what they really gave you

I looked up the pill beforehand, he also handed it to me from his lexapro bottle. It somewhat describes mania, but it was much much more than that. Perhaps a serotonin syndrome that doesn't make you feel like shit. Also I felt like a prophet wrapped in blankets eating ice cream for the next two days. Then I felt like death
 
Because he pulled it out a lexapro bottle doesn't mean that it was that. The chances of developing serotonin syndrome are highly unlikely from a single dose of lexapro. Are you on any other medications? Did you take anying else along with it? Any supplements, 5-HTP for example?

What did the pill look like? Lexapro is usually a white oval shaped tablet with a single score line down the middle of it.

A person in serotonin syndrome may display those symptoms, but euphoria is not usually assosiated with it - quite the opposite actually - dysphoria.

Then again, you could have just had an adverse reaction to the drug which isn't uncommon, but of such a severe scale baffles me!
 
No supplements, not even vitamins, I don't even eat triptophan rich food. I hadn't done any drug in months. And yes I do know for a fact it was Lexapro, I even compared the pills my friend still had to many online sites that showed the picture of the pill on both sides and the name. I am a big guy, 200 pounds, and 6 foot 3

Also forgot to mention that my pupils were dilated for 3 days. They didn't change size no matter how much light was thrown at them. They didn't even get any bigger with the light mostly off

I agree, an SSRI really shouldn't have that effect. It's likely to have been something else. More likely than you having such a unique neurophysiology that it had such an effect.
 
I've heard of paradoxical reactions to this particular drug that fit the OP's description, thus my disdain for this class of chemicals.
 
I'm sorry, but the idea of someone using an SSRI as a recreational drug is ignorant, irresponsible and downright stupid.
 
Yeah ive tried almost all ssri's, I've never had anything close to any of those reactions. could have stuff around the outside of the pill like a different drug, seems unlikely though cuz u got it for free
 
Kids, don't play with SSRI for fun, it's no fun at all, ok?

Recently I've been legally forced to start lexapro, or I'm kicked out of school. I started it yesterday and I felt it but to much less of a degree, because I am taking a smaller dosage. And after today it's almost as if it's that first time again. This really isn't what it should do
 
Tell your psychiatrist prescribing you the lexapro immediately. They will get you off of it and try to put you on another SSRI - you can see if your reaction to lexapro was unique to the compound or generalized to SSRIs. If the latter, then hopefully they'll get you off the SSRIs and onto a better class of antidepressants like tricyclics e.g. Welbutrin.
 
I've already tried other ssri's, tricylics make me vomit within the hour, and wellbutrin made me feel like a coked out monkey half the day

WHAT! they want you on drugs or you have to leave? thats very bad and frankly quite sickening

have you been behaving violently to warrant this reaction from your school?
 
No, not violently, I just am prone to moments of insanity sometimes, so I do act out sometimes, not in a violent or destructive way. I think they are just annoyed by it.
 
why is no-one shocked by the school demanding to drug their pupils with antidepressants? am i alone in thinking its hugely unethical?
 
Michigan. Also i a having extremely odd visuals even at this small dose. No longer stimulated, but visuals, especially in the dark have been intense. Like seeing black smoke rise from your fingers to having objects black out in your vision to be replaced by random shit your mind has made.
