Newbies to Lexapro, please don't get discouraged with the bad side effects you are experiencing on Lex. I started on 5mg 3+ months ago. I posted a lot here since then about my own personal BAD experiences w/lex, and got a lot of support and encouragement from everyone here.
You can go back to previous periods and read all about it...or briefly I had just about every side effect, and the first 2-3 weeks were ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. Stayed home all second week w/flu-like symptoms, called in sick to work.
BUT....THESE SIDE EFFECTS ALL WENT AWAY. Have no side effects now, and have to say Lex has been a lifesaver for me.
Try to stick with it, it may take 8-9 weeks before you feel the good effects of Lex ( that's how long it took for me ).
BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL!
