> Since I'm new at this I don't have an answer to your question, but I am in the same boat as you. Used to be on Paxil and Trazadone and was in heaven. You wrote me earlier this week with some advice on the weight gain and being switched to Laxapro. Since we're in similar situations I was wondering if you could tell me of the side effects your experiencing on Lexapro other than depression. Anything odd going on with your body? I feel extremely weird and am not liking this one bit. Insight?

I see my Psych doc on monday. I am going to tell him that I dont want to take this anymore. it doesnt seem to be working other than stopping the GAD symptoms that also coincide with my depression. I had a really bad day today, I just slept all day, that is how it's been since going up to 30 mg. I felt better than I had for about a day or so, and then back in the doldrums. I may even ask to go back on the paxil. I just feel so "low" right now, side effects that I have felt on this? No appetite whatsoever (doctor had to put me on remeron so I could eat. the runs, Insomnia (I get that from all the ssri's I've taken) When I started taking the lower dosages of the lexapro, I did have some anxiety, but then again, I dont know if it was just the GAD still making life difficult.

It seems to me, that this experience on lexapro sent me off of remission back into who knows where.

keep me posted how you do, hope you fare better.
