> Lil Jim asked for my lex experience so far. I started on 20 mg (since I was on 60 mg Celexa) when lex first came out about 8 months a go. I have been doing great on it. I feel a bit sharper mentally than I did on Celexa.

> As for the daytime tiredness, I had it both on Celexa and lex but it has been gone ever since I started my dark chocolate treatment 10 weeks a go. I eat one serving ( 1 ounce) a day around 10 am and I do not feel like sleeping at my desk anymore. I'll post something soon on dark chocolate. Mars has developed a dark chocolate with a gtd minimum amount of flavinoids. Dove dark chocolate bars is the only product currently using it. Dark chocolate lowers blood pressure and lowers bad cholesterol. I have good results with Dove, but also with Hersheys dark.

> As for the sexual side effects, they are less with lex than celex, but still there to some extent. Taking yohimbine is a big help but causes jitteriness for a few hours.

Hi there, I love your post about the chocolate. By the way happy your doing well on the lex as I am. But back to the chocolate!!! I posted about this quite awhile ago. In fact I blame some of my problems on chocolate. I quit cold turkey eating chocolate a few months before my world came crashing down. So into about week 4 or 5 on the lex I started eating chocolate again. I got a tip from someone on a chat. There are many posts on this on this board. It does a great number of things for the body as you stated. It also increases serotonin and other chemicals in the brain that affect mood. When I posted about my results I kind of got laughed at and picked on. Thats ok, I have a great sense of humor when not depressed. As far as sexual side effects, I have noticed that I may be getting a problem in this area. It started about 2 weeks ago. I dont know if its the med or in my mind. But I shall work on this problem, maybe I should get advice from leeran. She is the expert on this subject from this board!!!! TAKE CARE!!!
