> My husband has been taking 10 mg Lexapro for a week for depression. He thinks he notices an improvement -- is that possible so soon?

~~~I did notice an improvement at about a week. Definite good changes at 2 weeks.


I thought SSRIs took a few weeks to take effect?

~~~Max effects are at about 6-8 weeks as a general timeframe.


> My other question goes to side effects. How common is drowsiness/tiredness?

~~~I have seen posts here complain of that. I did not note this on my startup so I can't really speak about that one. I did have a few side effects - thankfully, mild - in the beginning and all of those subsided within a month. I have no side effects now at four months and just the good effects.

Lex has been great for me and I hope all works out well for your husband.
