> I'm fairly new to lexapro- have been taking it for about 3 weeks now....My doc started me on 10 mg, went for follow- up appt & was bumped up to 20 mg...have felt nothing, no side-effects, maybe a little more insomnia than usual...am wondering if this is right for me...
I had a terrible time w/SE's, but now I'm doing really GREAT on Lex
Are you taking other meds also?
Lex is the only med I have ever taken, so I don't know if I would have bad SE's with other meds. Maybe you are one of those who will have an easier time of it?
I think 3 weeks is a little early to tell if it will work for you. Most of the literature, studies, DRs, say it takes 6 - 8 weeks. For me it was 9 weeks.
Hope this helps and good luck!!
