Hi Naiad,

Welcome to the lexapro family!

The first few weeks on lex you might feel a little strange, but rest assured, it WILL go away. The wired feeling you have is very common, makes you want to stay away from coffee for a while, doesn't it?

Insomnia is another side effect that most people encounter. I'm on day 33 of 10 mg lex and didn't sleep well until last week! But, my anxiety/depression have improved so much that it has been worth it to tolerate the slightly uncomfortable side effects.

Report anything you think is "strange" about the way you feel and I guarentee someone on this board has experienced the same thing. You're not alone in your adjustment to lex, there are a lot of wonderful and supportive people here.

So, take a deep breath, relax and let the lex do its job. In a few weeks you'll feel much better!

K.
