In reply to Starting Lexapro, kind of scared, posted by vicwa on January 3, 2005, at 22:43:09
I have been on Lexapro since June. I tried many antidepressants before but either got side effects or no effect. Lexapro is the first that has ever worked for me. The pills made me dizzy and a little nauseous the first week but my doc said to cut them in half and try again. And that really helped. Then on about the third day, I could feel my depression, and anxiety lighten.
Now I still get down, but it's like there's a floor under me. I don't get Sunday night blues and Monday morning anxiousness.
No weight gain. No sex issues. (It's better actually. Because now I'm not depressed.)
I am a definite Lexapro success story. best of luck to you!
