In reply to Good and Bad About Lexapro Please, posted by Phillipa on September 22, 2005, at 20:18:54
Well my sweet friend,
I personally hated Lexapro. There were moments I felt euphoric on it (like "wooo hoooo this stuff is good"), then within an hour, it would sling me into a weird-dark-want to go kill myself depression. BUT that's just *me*, and I have a family history of BP so it could've been my make up that caused such a reaction.
I felt like I was a bad acid trip-- I hallucinated (visibly and audibly). It wigged me out.
BUT, my mom has been on it ( and Paxil and Cymbalta) and she tolerates it just fine.
I started out on 10 mg's, then went down to 5 mg's (the majority of the time on it, I was only on 5 mg's- I would bite the pill in half).
You could always try it and see.. Let us know.
