Hi Mic,
Welcome to babble, feel free to check out the social part of babble - there is a bunch of us on Lexapro. You will be able to find out everyones side effects etc...
I am pretty new to this site myself and always check back here to welcome the new people because that was very important to me when I was very new.I am 33 and suffer from anxiety/panic disorder since I was 17 on and off and Lexapro is the first medication I have ever tried for my anxiety other than xanax. I was sick of living my life in fear of when or where my next panic attack was going to happen so I finally talked to my doctor and she prescribed the Lexapro which I have found to be very helpful.
I have only been on the Lex for 8 weeks now and can say that at first I was very discouraged and almost flushed them down the toilet...the zombie feeling, nausea, headache etc...I am happy to say that because of this site and the wonderful people I have met, I stuck it out through all the side effects and I am feeling much better now. I use to take a low dose of xanax at bedtime everynight but now I don't need one.
I can honestly say that I have only had to take a few xanax right before my mentrual cycle which is great considering that I had to take one every night before bed.
Well feel free to post and check out the rest of the sites...the people are great.
Be well,
anxious babe
