In reply to Zoloft to Lexapro, posted by geno on December 6, 2003, at 11:25:11
I wonder what they really mean by "cleaner" side effect profile. As for Zoloft, I threw up so much that I had to be hospitalized for extreme dehydration. I almost died. Lexapro made me feel like I was going to throw up, but I didn't. I had to eat dry food for almost 2 weeks. I also had diarrhea and headaches. It all seemed to get better after the initial 2 weeks. Now, I just have no ability to enjoy sex and fatigue. So, if that's a cleaner side effect. I sure have it.
As for strenth, yes, this drug took effect with the 1st pill for me. I wasn't telling my family to get the Hell out of my life anymore. It really calmed me down. So, now, I can live with people again. Also, I noticed my surroundings too. Trees looked greener. So, you aren't going into this blind. Yes, this drug is very effective for me, but there were serious results too. I took being able to live with people again over my enjoyment sexually and feeling very tired. Well, my family is definately happier and I can live with that.
