hi Phillipa,
I take Lexapro 20 mg/day, and I don't really have any awful side effects at all. I didn't have any in the first place, except that I was super-anxious about starting it, so I freaked out about every little thing. I was tired the first few days, BUT I was also on Xanax until the Lex kicked in, and Xanax DOES make me drowsy!The only side-effect for me is that it's harder to orgasm. On 10 mg/day it was easier; at 20 mg/day, it's harder. I still can, but I have to "work" harder at it. :(
The lex definitely helps my anxiety stay at a manageable level. I may try going back to 10 mg/day b/c I seem to be doing ok right now.
good luck to you!
