Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been taking it for 3 days now in the morning and it is making me fall a sleep in the day. Have to eat something before I take it.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: This is the greatest drug yet invented. I had no idea what happiness was until Lexapro came into my mouth! I cannot even begin to imagine life without this medicine. Once the mild side effects had gone my life changed forever. My sex drive and orgasm is now incredible! Depression was banished and life full of colours and insight and love and passion is my soul filled realm. God only knows what will happen if it stops working as I have tried every other antidepressant medicine available and Lexapro is it.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: My young daughter suffers from Tourette Syndrome, OCD and Anxiety. The Anxiety is a recent thing. She has never been treated before for her tics (TS) or OCD (which actually is relatively new as well). They started her on Lexapro and her anxiety was heightened as well as decreasing her appetite. Which is not good since her obsession is NOT throwing up from food. So for her, this medicine did not work. She also complained of being tired, more nausea than usual, etc. She wasn't on it long either. We just made the decision that we could not afford her to be worse. She is now on something else - fingers crossed that it'll work!

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I take 10 mg/day. Before I started taking this I felt as though I had severe PMS everyday. I suffer from moderate to severe depression, anxiety, mood swings, anger problems, and OCD. My therapist has diagnosed me with PTSD. Anyway, the first week of taking this I had a lot of side-effects. I took it in the evening, and had insomnia. Waking up a lot at night. Initially, the first week, I also had decreased appetite and chest pain that would come and go. After the first week I began taking it in the morning. The insomnia and all other symptoms subsided, but then I became extremely tired during the day. I'm now taking it in the evening again. Helps A LOT. No more depression or irritability. Only problem now is increased appetite.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder: I have had less mood swing, and less night sweating since I started taking Lexapro. I feel more in control of my emotions and am able to think clearer.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I'm a 33 YO female, and this is my first time being on any kind of anti-depressant. I've been on Lexapro 10mg for about a month now. I noticed an immediate increase in energy, and even felt a little jittery. The doctor said it typically takes 2-3 weeks for it to fully kick in, but some people notice a change within 24-48 hours, which was me. I have decreased appetite and a lot of foods upset my stomach, so I'm eating less as well. Subsequently, I've lost some weight (which I like since I need to lose some!) I feel like doing things again and actually have some sort of sex drive, which had been completely absent for a while with the depression. I'm sleeping better, and it's easier to get out of bed. So far, so good.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I am a 26 year old man who has mild depression. I constantly took my problems out on others and lost my cool at the first hint of a problem. Now that I am on Lexapro I am not 100 percent better but I'm at least 50%, which is better than nothing. I think if it wasn't for Lexapro I would have eventually had a breakdown.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been on Lexapro for over 4 yrs after going into a deep depression after several traumatic life experiences. I am very grateful for Lexapro and my therapist (who helps me with coping techniques.) After being on Lexapro my family has told me they are not sure how to take the new me. When I was upset I would have anxiety attacks and black out. When I was angry I was uncontrollable sometimes even physical with my love ones. The sad part is I did not even know they were happening or happened until they told me. I wish I had gotten help sooner but now I am grateful and blessed for Lexapro and therapy. Every medicine is not right for everyone so you need to find the one that fits you along with therapy.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I recently stopped taking lexapro. It was giving me what they call "stinking thinking". At first it worked well for my anxiety and depression, then I started having these symptoms which felt like a panic attack, as well as severe negativity in my thought process, not to mention zero sex drive. I feel much better since stopping the medicine. I'm a nurse and it would make me so slow in my thought process. I was constantly wondering if I was actually helping or hurting my patients.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I took this medicine about 2 years ago for anxiety and depression for about 3 months. I could feel the effects of it in just 2 or 3 days and it made me feel like a complete zombie. I had no personality and I kept catching myself sitting there and in a daze. It also caused me to be very drowsy all the time.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: Great drug for me. I am a 42 yo wife who has been taking Lexapro for 5 weeks and I love it! Only side effect is crazy dreams. Before this I thought of suicide almost daily. Now, I feel like I can go on. I threw a Halloween party and invited 40 people over. I'm getting back to the old me. I meet with my doctor in 2 days and I can hardly wait to tell him what a difference this medication has made in my life. I'm so grateful.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I love Lexapro! This drug has done wonders for my anxiety. I have had the sexual side effects - hard to get an orgasm. I will say that went away for me. It might take me a little longer but I'm totally enjoying sex now! Give it time and your body will adjust to it.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: Lexapro quickly lifted me out of depression and kept me that way. I was really impressed at how un-depressed I felt, and with no apparent side effects. As advertised, it worked fabulously as an antidepressent. It lifted me out of the darkness and into the, well, the GRAY. Don't get me wrong--it was great to be out of depression--just not at the expense of the glint in my eyes. My psychiatrist asked me about my relationships, and it hit me that I didn't really have any. I couldn't remember the last time I felt aroused, let alone had an orgasm. He cut my dose in half, but it didn't help. Depression decended rapidly, so he put me back on Prozac. It will work well for awhile, but for now I am back to life, love, and some mighty fine sex.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: Lexapro has helped my anxiety and depression and I am glad to be on it. Started in January of 2002 and it brought me back to my senses and I was able to get out of a bad relationship and meet my husband. The side effects are minimal and blend into my daily life without much thought. Sexual side effects can be frustrating but my husband and I have a system figured out that works for us. I will be upping to 20 mg from 15 mg because of some social anxiety over the last few months from a job loss and the isolation and excess worry that followed. For panic, I take klonopin which has been a life saver. Once Lexapro kicked in, I felt like I had always wanted to feel since the age of 15 - normal! Not sad, not scared, not worried or anxious.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been on Lexapro 10 mg for a little over two months, and I already have noticed that my depression crept back. I recently started 20 mg, about a week ago. I haven't noticed a difference. I have had severe depression for the majority of my life, and I probably would have killed myself without antidepressants, but I feel that I need to add another medicine or switch. It helps with the anxiety, but the depression is what makes me unable to function. This was a good drug, but I have pretty bad tremors, and I'm thinking I need something more powerful.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I have heardof this drug working well for others. However, I feel compelled to write my experience with this drug. I was given a four week supply of Lexapro by my doctor (10mg pills) because I had panic attacks two days in a row which I did not realize at the time was a result of over drinking. I ended up taking two pills total. The side effects I experienced were: EXTREME anxiety, nausea, headache, chest pains, cold sweats, sleeplessness, nervous energy, and just general mania. I was terrified that this would never go away. The side effects went away the fourth day after taking the second (and last) pill. That was however the worst and longest 4 days of my life. You WILL get through this!

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I have gone through a lot these last 5 months from changing careers and moving and having two deaths in my family. I was having bad crying jags and feeling really down. My anxiety was very high. I have been on this medication for about 4 days now and I feel a sense of peace and all my mind-chatter has left. I know the full dose has not kicked in yet so I'm hoping to feel better and better. I was totally against taking anything but sometimes you just need that extra push. In the beginning I did feel very tired but that has lifted. I feel clear headed and plan to stay on this for a little just to get back to normal.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I LOVE LEXAPRO. I had really bad anxiety before Lexapro and now I feel much calmer and more in control of my life. I only take 5mgs because my body is super sensitive but I can definitely feel and see a change. Sometimes I still suffer from anxiety during PMS but during the rest of the month I'm so happy and life is so much easier to deal with. Lexapro was a life saver for me.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been on this drug for a year. Initially, it made an amazing difference in my depression and anxiety levels, and allowed me to return to "normal" life. My short temper was back to normal, and I was enjoying many aspects of life again. After a year, the dosage I was on ceased to be effective (10mg) and the side effects more worrisome. I have gained nearly 20lbs with no increase in calorie intake and have in fact improved my diet and reduced calorie intake, and in fact am working out 5 days a week for an hour of hardcore bootcamp-style exercise...and have not lost a pound. At this time I am so uncomfortable with the weight gain and the absolute absence of libido that I am considering moving to Wellbutrin or other antidepressant.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I am 38 yr old mother of 2 teenage boys. Depression has plagued me with thoughts of suicide a constant companion. This drug really helped (10mg for me), I am not so worried or bothered by things, I can handle just about anything. I love it, I have been on it 8 months and I want to wean off because of the weight gain (10 lbs) and loss of libido. I tried to wean off before and the withdrawals were so bad, if you decide to stop taking it, see your doctor. I recommended at least a 2 month withdrawal if not more, seriously, it is so bad. The nausea, dizziness and head zaps are debilitating.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: Was prescribed this medicine to combat my generalized anxiety disorder. It worked fine for a few months, but then I got depressed. I didn't want to leave the house, talk on the phone, or even text or email any friends at all. I also gained 20 lbs. That might have had something to do with the depression that suddenly came about also. This might work for some people, but I was not one of them.

Lexapro (escitalopram) : 16 female. I've been under the care of a psychiatric adolescent ward for about 5 months now, this is one of the medications I have tried more recently.
Firstly I had severe flatulence after a day or two of taking the first dose of 5mg. I was also constipated so took laxatives, which then gave me really bad runs which I had for the course of taking lexapro. I also had a slight tremor. I had lexapro in the morning at 5mg. I came off of it within a week of starting it. The day after I came off of Lexapro I was sick, and had terrible stomach cramps and the runs still. It helped with my mood but sadly the side effects outweighed the positives!

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: Started Lexapro 10mg today and feel high and kind of like I have no worries. It's making me a little fatigued also. I'm hoping I don't get the side effects of weight gain and loss of libido! Going to give this stuff at least a month then will check in again.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I wasn't severely depressed but I was always CRAZY sensitive, flipped out and cried at the smallest things, had pretty bad anxiety for no reason and would think negative thoughts over and over until I couldn't sit with myself.
I finally decided to see a psychologist who recommended I have a psychiatric evaluation- in which they prescribed Lexapro. They started me on 10mg for two weeks and bumped me up to 20mg, which I have been taking for the last 2 months.
I can't even express the immense change I experienced. I have never felt so content in my life. It never changed my personality in a drastic way, but I feel very confident, I can brush things off easily, I don't feel stuck in life, I can actually have fun. I LOVE this medicine.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I started taking Lexapro going on 3 weeks ago and I think it's great. The side effects that I suffered in the very beginning were headaches but they are all pretty much gone.
I also did not put on any additional weight. I actually lost about 4 pounds. It seems to suppress my appetite. I highly recommend it.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Bipolar Disorder: I've been on lexapro for 1 year now and to be honest as a pill to fill the gap for my anxiety it really doesn't work. I intend to tell the doctor on my next visit; there must be another drug that works better.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: Lexapro works good for me. Started on 10mg for a couple of years then needed to up dose to 20mg a day and has been working great for 6 years. I recently took myself off the medication for about three weeks because I have gained weight and wanted to loss some but I quickly asked my doctor to give it back. I will live with the weight and work harder to loss it.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I have been taking Lexapro 20mg daily for 4 years now. Works great on my anxiety. Side effects: better concentration skills for work, lower sex drive but still works, normal appetite, if I miss to many days I lose some of my word memory abilities and a short vocabulary until I get my doses back on a daily regimen. I do have trouble going to sleep but sleep well when I finally get to sleep.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: My doctor and I tried various medications to help me with anxiety. Lexapro has been the most effective. I've been taking it for a couple of years - now at 40 mg. It does have side effects that have not dissipated: lack of sex drive, much heavier sweating, and a numbing of emotions. However, the calm I feel far outweighs those problems.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I've been on 10mg of Lexapro daily since mid 2007 for major recurrent depression. It's worked for me so far. The side effects are not something I like, but when I speak with my doctors (military doctors) all they've told me is "It's your choice, you can be fat and happy or skinny and depressed. Which one do you want?" Since being on it I've gained 50lbs that I can't shed that slowly creeps up over time. My sex drive is non-existent, difficult to climax or it's unsatisfying. If I forget to take my medicines for a few days my mood swings to grouchy, snappy, and short tempered. On a bonus note, my doctors kept me on Lexapro during pregnancy/breastfeeding and my baby had NO issues, perfectly healthy.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: Took this medication for two years for depression. Didn't do much to help lift or regulate my moods, but didn't cause insomnia or nightmares. Taking this medicine on an empty stomach resulted in nausea, cramps, and vomiting. Make sure to eat breakfast if you're taking it in the morning.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: Lexapro changed my life. I was a very moody person and never considered medication until my doctor did. I am so glad I am on it. The only side I have is that I get these little "shocks" that only last a short time but can be annoying. The strange thing is that they start about 22-24 hours after a dose. After I take it they are gone till the next day. Other than that I love it.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: This medicine was the first one I was put on. Works very well. I am ever so grateful for LEXAPRO. My side effects were being tired and sleepy at first. Now however (after 4 years) I find my sleep cycle is switched, I sleep during the day and I find myself up at night.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I'm a 38 year old female. I've been on Lexapro 10mgs for 2 1/2 weeks now for severe anxiety due to marital issues. It has definitely helped- I feel much calmer about my life and has given me back the feeling of being able to cope with life's current problems. Before starting Lexapro I was taking Valium every couple days for anxiety and I haven't needed to take a single one since starting. The one major side effect I noticed almost immediately was difficulty in reaching orgasm (which was never an issue in the past). I'm not yet sure whether that's a deal breaker as I think the other SSRIs would have the same effect.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: I have taken this for about two months now and it has worked wonders for my anxiety. I also have depression and panic disorder, so it seems to help with both. The only downside I have experienced is decreased sexual interest, but my Wellbutrin has seemed to help with this a bit.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: For me, this drug has been amazing. I've had anxiety most of my life but over the past few years I started having panic attacks. I finally went to the doctor and he put me on Lexapro. I've been taking it for approximately 6 months and I started seeing results within the 1st week. I haven't gained any weight, in fact I've lost weight and sometimes have to make myself eat. It does make me sleepy, so I take it at night. For me it has worked wonders.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I've been on Lexapro for 2 years and am now weening myself off. I am giving this medicine a relatively high rating because it saved my social and academic life in under a month of beginning treatment. However, after being on it for about 2 years it's effects have plateaued. I am completely emotionally neutral to any situation. Some may like this feeling, but I do not. Example: I get a D on an important term paper. Emotion: I don't care. Example: I get an A on an important term paper. Emotion: I don't care. I'd at least like to feel something from emotional stimuli. I will either be trying a different drug or giving a completely drugless life a chance. Good luck to you all.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I was on Zoloft for 8 years and the side effects became unbearable and it wasn't working for me anymore. My doctor switched me to Lexapro. Its hard to say whether my side effects initially were caused by the withdrawal from the Zoloft or the Lexapro. After a few days I felt like myself again. I didn't have trouble sleeping, but I gained 10 lbs every 6 months. I have had a lot of stress in my life and the Lexapro wasn't enough for me and had to take Xanax on occasions. Lexapro does not treat PMS mood swings so I usually took the Xanax around my period. It helped, but the weight gain was depressing and no matter what I did I was hungry all the time and couldn't lose the weight.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I was prescribed Lexapro about 3 years ago. I saw no change in my behavior except that I had no sex drive, no arousal, and it took me a long time to climax. Even after 3 years I was still depressed and anxious. It was not the medicine for me.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: After taking Lexapro for around 2 1/2 years I weaned myself off about 4 months ago. The biggest side effect while going off of it was a feeling of electric shock in my head. It was a super fast thing and only lasted for a super short second, but it would occur at random times throughout the day. After awhile though, I got used to the 'shocks' and knew they would be over in a short second and just lived with it. I need to state that I did this very slowly, gradually decreasing my doses over a period of about 3 months. NOT a quick process. Initially I felt WONDERFUL after discontinuing this drug, but now, months later the depression has crept back.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been on Lexapro once daily in the morning since 2006. I took it in 2004 but had to stop when I got pregnant. I suffer from cyclothymia, which is a bipolar spectrum disorder that includes chronic depression, anxiety, mood swings and irritability. Lexapro is a great medicine for those who it works for. Little side effects. I currently take 30mg Lexapro. I started taking Wellbutrin SR 100mg about 5 months ago to help me with my loss of motivation and inability to get out of bed in the morning (I want to sleep a lot). I still have some irritability and mood swings so my doctor gave me Seroquel XR 50mg to try 3 hours prior to bedtime beginning tonight.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: My psychologist originally suggested Lexapro to treat my anxiety and panic disorder, then my doctor prescribed it. I was told that it is not habit forming and that it has low side effects and works well to treat panic disorder. I started out on 10mg for 3 weeks then went up to 20mg. My side effects have been mild and have included nausea (the first few days), weight loss (which I don't mind) because of decreased appetite, mild increased sweating, and recently trouble falling asleep. All in all I am very pleased with it and have had only one panic attack in over a month. I used to have multiple ones weekly. I feel like I am finally getting my life back and I would recommend this medicine to anyone.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been on Lexapro for almost 2 weeks for mild depression. It has helped me so much. I feel like my old self again. I have had the opposite happen as far as the side effects go. I have lost a little weight, my libido has gone from non-existent to raging (which has made my husband happy after almost 3 years of no libido) and I have a lot more energy than I did. I did make the mistake of taking my 10mg dose in the morning, which left me feeling very fatigued all day. I switched to taking it at bedtime and feel much better now. Not as tired. I have only good things to say about Lexapro so far. Hope things don't change.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: Lexapro is good it has really helped to calm me down. The first few days have been tough I have been nauseated, I have lost my appetite, I'm restless, but overall it really is making a difference and I have only been on it a few days. It hasn't helped my depression yet, but I have been told it takes a while.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I started Lexapro 10 mg while my mother was terminally ill - very high stress period. It was like a miracle. Totally relaxed me and got me through a rough period. I only experienced two side effects - weight gain (10 lbs) and zero sex drive. Because of the weight gain, I decided to wean myself off a few months after my mother passed away with no problems at all. Then, six months later began suffering the worst anxiety with severe panic attacks. I immediately got back on Lexapro and will try to combat the weight gain with diet and exercise. It was a good drug for me.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: This drug is an absolute miracle. I have/had severe anxiety from menopause and was losing time at work as well as my general interest in life. Heart palpitations, chest pains, dizziness and shortness of breath. I thought I was losing my mind. I'm taking only 5mg a day and have no side effects. I'm even losing weight. I'm back to normal. What a HUGE relief! I would recommend this drug to anyone suffering as I did.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I was put on this for my anxiety disorder and my bulimia/anorexia. I was put on 5 mg and than bumped up to 15 mg over a months times. I started this drug three months ago and last month I had to be taken off. I had bruises all over my legs, I had no energy, I would fall asleep at 10pm and wake up at noon the next day and be taking a nap at 3pm. My anxiety improved some but those side effects were too much.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I had postpartum depression after my son was born. My doctor gave me Lexapro said to try and stick with it for 1 year. I felt so much better after the 1st week of taking it. My son is now 5 months old and I've been taking it for 4 months already. I feel like it doesn't work anymore. I feel the depression on and off. What they say about the side effects is true. I have no interest in having sex, I have gained 10lb over a period of 4 months and can't lose them no matter how hard I try.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: I love Lexapro. I was having chest pain daily along with my heart skipping beats due to stress and anxiety. I began taking Lexapro and hardly ever have chest pain. I feel like myself again. I have gained a good bit of weight, but for me it is worth not having daily chest pains and anxiety.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I have always had anxiety, but after having my twins at 25 weeks the anxiety just got worst. After their long stay in the NICU and they were fine I thought things would get better but it became my everyday life. I have now been on Lexapro for 4 days and I am very excited of the effects already. I feel more relaxed and I don't get upset over the little things. I am actually losing weight and sleeping better. I wish I had gone to my MD sooner because I feel like I am on my way to being my old self again. I am now on my way to being a better mom and wife and that makes me feel great.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Bipolar Disorder: I liked this medication for a while and then it seemed to increase my anxiety rather than reduce it. I even tried going up in dosage with no effect.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I was on Paxil and switched to Lexapro a few years back (3) and have not had many side affects. It really does calm me down so I have become a nicer person, and shrug off things that I would normally go crazy about, less shouting etc. I take 20mg. I do feel it has made me lazier and as a result I have been putting on some weight as I exercise less. It does affect orgasms which are much harder to pull off and takes incredible effort. I tried 3 times to go off the drug cold turkey, with terrible results. I just became depressed. After a few days I just went back on it again and after 15 minutes felt the glow of calm come into my body and I was "normal" again. It is addictive, to quit, definitely need to decrease dose gradually.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Great medication to relieve anxiety. Sex drive went down first two weeks. Go a bit worried, but body adjusted. Occasional dream of gruesome things. Usually what I see on the news or discuss with family. Can't tell whether or not it's due to Lexapro.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been diagnosed with ADHD (due to chronic, extreme lack of concentration), depression and anxiety. About 2 years ago, I began taking, by prescription, Effexor XR 75mg/day. My doctor at the time did not know much about SSRI's. The Effexer was working great but, she decided to send me to a counselor who cannot write prescriptions. My "doctor" stopped my Effexor, cold turkey, for no apparent reason, knowing counselor's cannot give it to me. I immediately began having extreme withdrawal symptoms. My every move caused me to hear and feel electrostatic "ticks". My head, ears, and jaw felt it was going to explode from pressure, and I was weak and uncoordinated. I honestly thought I was dying for over 2 weeks. I'm now taking Lexapro, Adderal, and Valium.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: My doctor tried Lexapro with me starting at the lowest dose of 5 mg all the way up to 20 mg. Lexapro just didn't help with my depression. It's one of those drugs that either works for you or not at all for others.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: Lexapro has been a God send for me. I started off with 10 mg and it didn't do a thing, so I was increased to 20 mg, and wow what a difference. I now find myself actually starting conversations with people - something the pre-Lexapro me could have never dreamed. I feel so much more relaxed - like a real person, finally. No side effects at all either except it definitely increases the effects of alcohol. Didn't really do much for my depression, but I think just feeling less anxious is helping it along.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: It took about five days to get into my system. It was around the holidays and it really helped. My confidence seemed to have changed for the better.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: I was in bad shape for 5 and 1/2 years when I was prescribed Lexapro. Uncontrollable crying, going into fits, breaking things. Flying off the handle for no reason. Two weeks on Lexapro and I had everything under control until the day my doctor wouldn't refill my script until I went to see him. I didn't have time for a visit so I just did without it. On about the 3rd day I was feeling strange, off balance, light headed, kind of fuzzy. 4th day when I turned my head I felt like I was in an old time movie, click-click-click. I went to the doctor, told him I wasn't feeling well, he didn't tell me why I was feeling like that but to take my Lexapro and I would feel better.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I have only been taking this medication for 2 weeks. It has been pretty up and down for me each and everyday. I requested help for anxiety made worse by PMS. I started on 2.5mg and had scary anxiety, worse than what I was even taking it for, mild dry mouth, dizziness, and head sensations that were not quite painful but annoying. Just when I thought it was getting better, side effects seem to come and go as they please. I know that 2 weeks is not a fair amount of time to evaluate the drug completely and while my PMS was improved this month, I feel different, and not in a good way. I don't know how much longer I will give it a go.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I am a 42 year old male who suffered from drug abuse, severe depression and social anxiety disorder. While seeking help for crystal meth addiction my psychiatrist prescribed Lexapro (10mg then 20mg). It took over 5 months of daily use before I started to feel better but now I can say that Lexapro has really changed my life for the better. I have been crystal meth free for two years now and actually enjoy being alive. I also interact with people much more and look forward to the future. Minor side effects included bruising (when taken with aspirin), trouble sleeping, increased sweating and hyper-activity, all of which disappeared after lowering my dose from 20 to 10mg. This medicine has been a life saver.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Bipolar Disorder: I used Lexapro for a short time because after about a week, I found that I lost all sensation of touch. I could stick my hand under hot running water and I couldn't tell you just by touch its general temperature. Obviously, the rising steam gave a clue. But I immediately requested to be taken off of it. When I told my doctor, she thought I was lying. Wish I could have tried it longer but I prefer not being physically numb.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been on and off of antidepressants my whole life. I have been on Lexapro for a year and it helped tons. I don't feel depressed anymore but it seems that I don't have a range of emotions. I always seem somewhat subdued, not able to cry, don't get very excited about anything. I have trouble falling asleep and actually getting good sleep. I guess because of that I am often tired during the day. The sexual side effects are irritating. I gained a little weight but I also quit smoking so that may have had a part in the weight gain. On a positive note, I am not so overwhelmed with worrying. I can concentrate much better at school. My irritability has lessened. I feel sane again.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I've always been somewhat emotional, but at the age of 16 I was feeling really sad. I have been on Lexapro for about 5 years now, first 20 mg and eventually upped to 40 mg daily. At 19, I started getting panic attacks and high anxiety. My doctor put me on Effexor XL, which caused weight gain and made me feel worse. I was switched to Welbutrin 150 mg daily and the combination of Lexapro and Welbutrin seemed to help. The past few months, I have been upped on Welbutrin to 300 mg. I have to say, Lexapro doesn't come in generic and is VERY expensive, especially with no insurance. Don't forget to take your Lexapro, because the withdrawal can be bad.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I got into a burnout and had anxiety, depressive and obsessive thoughts. I couldn't sleep anymore. My Doctor initially prescribed Paxil but the side effects were horrible so she switched me to Lexapro. My symptoms gradually went away over a month. The only side effect I had was mild weight gain which I could not sweat off until I quit the medication.
I stayed on Lexapro for just over a year while I also did CBT. I gradually quit over a 6-wk period with no withdrawal symptom.
Lexapro litteraly saved my job, relationship and my sanity. I only have good comments to say about this drug.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I found that in high stress situations, I still had some degree of anxiety (sweaty palms, holding my breath without realizing it, some shaking, etc) but overall my ability to handle anxiety evened out. I was a lot less stressed and found decision making, dealing with my children, and talking in front of people to be much more manageable. I was able to sleep better without waking up several times in a panic wondering what I had forgotten to do. I stopped worrying about things. This drug changed my life with a moderately low dose and with little to no side effects.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I've been on Lexapro for 2 weeks for generalized anxiety disorder and mild depression. I do feel better and have had no side effects to speak of - the first two days felt like I drank 8 pots of coffee, but it leveled off after that and now I feel fine. My appetite is a little decreased but that is no crisis at all. Overall I am feeling better and more positive.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I've been battling depression and anxiety for 20 years. I've tried just about every medicine, but they all kept me from sleeping and I suffer insomnia on my own as it is, but they made it worse. It took a month on lexapro before I could wake up. But I gave it that month to see and the side effect went away and I sleep better than I usually do. It helped depression and anxiety in just days.
Recently, my husband of only one year left me at the same time that my mother died. It's not helping as much now, but were I not on it I would NOT be here. Even on it, it's a daily fight.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I've been on lexapro for several years. I have to say for some the initial side effects can be overwhelming, but stick with it because it will help most of us. You can train yourself to overcome the sexual side effects, and weight gain can be controlled through proper exercise and diet. I'm not an active person, but have to remind myself to hit the gym several times a week. Doing so will greatly and positively affect your mood as well, so just pretend like you have no choice and GO. Also please remember there is no "magic pill" we have to take responsibility for our own happiness, which includes lots more than just taking antidepressants! Hope this helps some!

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: 10mg of this medication in the morning did wonders for my anxiety and depression. I felt awful physically and mentally and it made me feel WAY normal again. The side effects I experienced were heart palpitations, increase in stomach acid, occasional nausea, minor drowsiness, and dizziness upon standing. None were bad enough to quit.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: I had severe anxiety disorder. Probably very close to being hospitalized. My doctor put me on lexapro and yes, it took awhile to reach full effect, but each day got better and better. Within a month I was feeling more like myself and within two months, I felt that I had my life back. No noticeable side effects for me.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I started lexapro about two weeks ago. Currently, I am happy to say the benefits have out weighed the negative side effects. My side effects have been: nausea, ear ringing, headaches, sleep problems, dry mouth, and sore teeth. However, my energy has increased and I am in much better shape than I was two weeks ago. Two weeks ago I would not leave my house, I did not go to work or go out socially. I would randomly get up set and I was not motivated to do anything. I am slowly going out more and becoming more the old me.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: Was prescibed Lexapro for anxiety and panic disorder. Only could give this a neutral 5 rating as the side effects stopped me after a week from experiencing the possible benefits. I am told that this is a very good drug by my doctor and shrink alike. It gave me more anxiety and crazy chest pains. I was on 10mg daily.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been on lexapro for a week and it's been a ride. I have had horrible side effects from the start. Really bad headaches, night sweats, frequent suicidal thoughts. It has had an opposite effect on me. My depression/anxiety are worse. I sleep way too much. I also have experienced loss of appetite while a lot of people gain weight. I've lost 9 pounds in a week, which is really weird because my weight has been the same for years. I never really gain or lose so I know it's the medicines. I'm hoping that all the bad side effects will pass. I don't want to give up on the drug yet. I'm going to at least try and stick it out for a month.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Bipolar Disorder: I'm 27 years old and have been on Lexapro for about 2 1/2 years now. It has really saved my life. I fought depression and anger problems for most of my life. I tried all kinds of other medicines and nothing helped. I went through a really bad divorce about three years ago and got very depressed. I never really knew how I was treating people until I started taking Lexapro and getting better. I felt good about my life. Lexapro saved my life when I thought there was hope. I'm so thankful. The only side effect I've had is a little weight gain. I don't like the weight gain but I wouldn't give up Lexapro for anything.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and was given Lexapro along with cognitive therapy. The first week Lexapro made me worse than I was originally. However, it worked wonders and has helped me immensely to get my life back in order. I started on a light dosage at 10mg and in 4 weeks jumped to 20mg which is typical. This combined with cognitive therapy has got me back on track. I really didn't experience any side effects except feeling crappy when I first got on it. Within 4 weeks it was fine. To me it is like taking aspirin everyday now.

I have been on Lexapro for only 2 days but I have noticed a difference in my mood. The very first day I felt a "high", "weird" sense. It made me sleepy but then restless in the middle of the night BUT I have been already feeling better mood-wise. I am going to try and tough it out because I have more good than bad. We'll see!

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I'm almost 40 years old and have been on 20mg Lexapro for 1 1/2 years just before the death of my mother. The drug has been wonderful and has helped balance the stress and has limited my severe migraines. The only concern is I gained a lot of weight and I have never had a weight problem until this drug. The weight is settled mostly in my mid section. I am concerned with heart disease, artery problems, high cholesterol since these run in my family history. Lexapro is amazing but factor in other health issues you could encounter on it. I'm weighing my options to see if I am willing to risk the withdrawal effects, weight gain (I've read elsewhere it is difficult to lose the weight after going off Lexapro) or if my anxiety was because of my mother's death or everyday now.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been taking Lexapro for 5 months now and it has really worked for me. I am a 30 year old working mother of two and got very depressed due to alot of factors which included balancing work and family and trying hard to make ends meet. I cried alot and suffered terribly from tension headaches. Since starting Lexapro I have been much better with the kids and better able to cope with what life throws at me. The only side effects I have noticed is a little weight gain and lack of sex drive (which doesn't make my husband too happy) but he will get over it.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: For the first week on Lexapro, I felt weird; a little lightheaded, dizzy, had insomnia and some minor stomach issues but I stuck it out and I'm so glad I did. I have been taking it for 5 weeks now. I take Lexapro around 10am now as this helps prevent insomnia at night. I feel more energetic, happier and more social. I don't feel out of control or strange or anything. No side effects now. I would highly recommend it anyone to try this.

The worst side effect I have is loss of appetite. I don't mind that one so much.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I have been taking Lexapro 10mg for 4 months for anxiety and panic attack disorder with mild OCD. The panic attacks went away completely and my anxiety was lessened. I am no longer walking around with a constant lump in my stomach and I feel stable. I had chest pains from the anxiety and they also went away after a month on Lexapro. If you experience side effects in the beginning please try to stick it out it is worth it. I had some side effects (restlessness, insomnia, worsening of panic episodes, dry mouth and sweating) but they went away after 4 weeks. The only bad thing about Lexapro is the weight gain. I gained 12 lbs in 2 months. Recently I had to up my dose to 15mg, when my dad died and I started feeling anxious again. Good luck all.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I was slowly suffering from anxiety (through high school) and never really knew it. About 3 years ago (age 29) I began to have anxiety and panic attacks after a vet visit with my cat. I seizured from the anxiety of being in the vet office and from then on for about a year the anxiety turned into panic attacks at work, meetings, car, home. It wasn't until I finally had a full on panic attack (felt like a heart attack) and had to go to hospital that I was prescribed Lexapro. I did not want to accept the fact that I needed to take medicine for something psychological. I always tried to fight things with my mind. Over the past 2 years I am glad I was prescribed Lexapro. It has completely changed my anxiety. I still have occasionall anxiety but no attacks. Main side effect was low sex drive.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: Lexapro is a good anti-depressant (I was perscribed this drug for anxiety but felt very positive after about two weeks). That being said, in my opinion it did more for my un-diagnosed depression then for my diagnosed anxiety, which is the reason for the perscription. I did rate this product a 9/10 though, because like I said it seems to be a great anti-depressant.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: My mom died when I was 4 and last semester I always had anxiety in the background and now at 15, spring semester of '08 I had some mild panic attacks and worry, nervousness, sadness and excessive shyness all day long. This medication is a life saver and I love it. They say 8 weeks for the full effect and sure it might re-balance your chemicals in 8 weeks, but give it a chance as it still takes a while after that for you to break out of your shell.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I took Lexapro 10 mg for anxiety and OCD for approximately one year. It was the best ever. I was less aggravated at the little things that go wrong in daily life. My 5 and 6 year olds even noticed a difference. It took about 3 weeks to start feeling better. I decided that I did not need it anymore and could control the anxiety. The withdrawls were bad with stopping cold turkey. After 8 months off, I am getting back on medication. The only bad side affect is terrible weight gain.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I have only been taking Lexapro for two days but I already felt a difference the first day. It was like things were not such a big deal. A few hours after taking the second dose I had this wave of memories from the last year that made me go "wow, I've over reacted, over thought, over cried, over expected from myself and others". It does make me a bit sleepy so I take it before bed. My appetite is more normal now where I would eat to feel better now I am only eating when I'm hungry. It makes me thirsty and makes me yawn a lot but overall but I think this may save me and my family from my freak out moments.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I've been taking Lexapro for roughly 5 months. The benefit to risk ratio is positive compared to other anti-depressants. It is not a miracle encapsulated inside a pill. I hope it is helping. Motivation and sleeplessness remain my major adversaries. Of course, your mileage may vary. It is a helpful (and expensive) medication.

I was surprised to notice how quickly I started feeling better. Just under two weeks I noticed the improvements myself, but I'm sure others did as well.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I took everything personally before Lexapro. Now I'm just a little above it all. I live with more certainty and confidence it seems. I love my Lexapro.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder: I started taking Lexapro about 2 1/2 years ago. I had gone to my doctor because I was having perimenopausal symptoms, the worst of which was not sleeping. I would have several days in a row where I couldn't sleep. I was also having trouble controlling my anger. The out of control rage was so unlike me.
Lexapro has been wonderful for me. I take 10 mg once a day. I take it in the morning. I am not tired during the day, but now I sleep great at night. I also have much better anger-control. No more rages.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been taking Lexapro for two years. I had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and was in and out of the hospital for several months. Depression and anxiety were severe for me. I was impatient, over reacting over every little thing, nervous to be around others and would cry for no reason. I take lexapro 20mg once a day and feel great now. The side effect I had was sleepiness, but after a couple weeks it went away. I am more happy with my life now.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: Lexapro has changed my life significantly. I had GAD and my anxiety was absolutely awful, especially since I am in graduate school. I started on Lexapro and didn't start seeing the effects for about 6 months; but it was well worth the wait. I am the "old me" and couldn't be happier. My advice is to give it time- it really does take a while.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDNT TRY THIS SOONER.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: Since I was in 10th grade, I've had anxiety and depression. I was placed on Lexapro 10mg, but still had some social anxiety and anxiety about other things. I didn't have as much as before so the doctor increased it to 20mg. I've never felt better. Like others have said, I almost forget I have anxiety. I feel fine everyday and it's the greatest feeling in the world. If anyone is reading this post and is unsure about asking the doctor about help with anxiety, social anxiety, depression, etc, please don't wait. This drug truly saved my life.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: Without going into my whole story about this drug and the events that lead me up to the point of taking it, I will just say my piece about it and move on. At the risk of sounding cliche, it is a miracle drug. It completely changed my life, for the better. I really cant even begin to say all the specific things it helped me change about myself. I'm not normally the type of person who will get on the Internet and give kudos to a product of any kind, but with this I am. Look into it!

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: Saved my life. I used to take 20 mg two years ago. I ended up taking myself off, (tapering) then I was fine for about 6 months. I fell into a relapse and now started on 10 mg. I would be so afraid of what to eat and if something was going to make my blood sugar to high. Now I can eat healthy but not have to worry that to much fruit will make me sick. I can have a soda every now and then. I love Lexapro. The first few days are different, headache, stomach ache and dizziness. Now I feel 100% better.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I am a 33 year old mother of 2 who was ready to give up on life. Started taking 10mg of Lexapro and eventually increased to 20mg. Have been taking for about a year and a half. Although still dealing with a few side effects, (insomnia, weight gain, and waking up with headaches), Lexapro has truly saved my life. I can now be the kind of mother and wife that my family deserves.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I've been on Lexapro for over a year and have noticed that I'm actually not "freaking out" about everything. I'm happy for every day that I'm here and thankful for every moment I have. I only wish I would have approached my doctor before to ask for help. This little pill made a huge difference.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I am 60 years old and have suffered chronically from depression and anxiety. After alcohol stopped doing the trick 25 years ago, I started a long journey with anti-depressants Imipramine, which was very effective but had very unpleasant side effects. Over time I have taken Paxil, Effexor, Celexa and then a few years ago Lexapro (20 mg). While all of them were helpful, Lexapro has been a miracle- I often forget I have the disease.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been taking this drug for 6 months. I started after a very sad time in our family and some months after this I had days where I would just breakdown and cry for no reason. I found out that depression is in our family and has made me more aware of this disease. I fell generally better and don't have the days of sadness that I use to but have side affects of insomnia, low sex drive, dizziness and sometimes fatigue. Overall I fell this drug has been helpful and would reccomend it to others.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I am a 5'10" male, 49 years of age, and weigh 200 pounds. I have been taking Lexapro for 9 years to combat major depression secondary to Type 2 ADHD (non-hyperactive). I also have been diagnosed with a mild form of highly functioning autism (Asperger Disorder). The Lexapro dose is quite high, but in the absence of adverse affects or abnormal liver/kidney function, the results have brought marked improvement and have been amazing. My therapeutic dose has never been below 60mg per day and averages 80-100mg per day. It has been as high as 120mg per day without adverse affects, EKG changes, hypertension, tachycardia, appetite or sexual performance changes. Liver/kidney/thyroid blood draws are done every 6 months.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been on Lexapro for almost 5 months now and I am doing great. It has really helped a lot. I don't have the negative thoughts like I did and I can actually have positive thoughts. The only downside that I see is the drowsiness. But I am super sensitive when it comes to medicines that "can cause drowsiness". I can function but I go around yawning a lot. That is getting better though. I have tried taking it before bed to see if that would help.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I'm a male 44 years, and suffered anxiety for years. I could not drive on the freeway without panic attacks, and the fear of crashing. I went to countless doctors before I decided to try medication(Lexapro). It changed my life. It took about three months for me to feel like my old self again. I have no side effects, and I haven't had a panic attack in three years since I began taking it. Life is great thanks to Lexapro.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I am a 5'8" male, who is 55 years of age, and have been taking 10 mg of Lexapro for 5 months to combat depression following a divorce. Lexapro has helped greatly with my mood, ability to concentrate and despair.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been on Lexapro for about 10 months. I absolutely love it. For about the first month, I was on 10 mg and talked with my doctor about needing more so we bumped it up to 20 mg. After 6 months on being on 20 mg, I felt too relaxed and drowsy, so we have cut back to 10 mg. I feel great. For awhile, I was really sleepy, but have gotten back in a positive sleep rhythm. Looking to cut back to 5 mg soon. It takes a few weeks to kick in, but the wait is worth it.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have been on 20mgs of Lexapro for about 2 months now. I love it! I went from crying everyday and wanting to kill myself to being a normal person. It also relieved some of my social anxiety. I would definetly recommend it.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I'd never experienced depression until I was getting a divorce. Depression is frightening. Talking didn't relieve my despair. Then came new, nightmarish experiences: panic attacks. My doctor put me on Lexapro and I went to therapy. I felt immediately better physically, which paved the way for my eventual and complete emotional healing. I went off the drug once, crashed (don't quit suddenly, taper off if you have to). Now I take it again (low dose) with the same wonderful results.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I've been on Lexapro 10mg for 5 years now and it makes me "me" again. It's wonderful! I've never had a side effect. I've also lost 90 pounds! I was eating because of the stress and depression and when that started to go away so did the overeating! I started to feel a lot better. It took about 4-5 weeks for it to kick in and I had to chart my progress through my doctor but I am truly thankful.

Lexapro (escitalopram) : I'm a 46 yr old female with a long history of being a control freak, unable to sleep, edgy, irritable, etc. I've been using 10mg of Lexapro for about 5 weeks now and the results are amazing. I can sleep, I can focus on what's important, and I'm much more even tempered. All my close friends and my boyfriend have commented on the difference. I haven't seen any side effects that I can't deal with yet, in fact the best one is that it makes me sleepy, so I take it at night.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: My son is 8yrs old and has asperger's with an emphasis in anxiety. When the doc prescribed Lexapro at 10mg he had a manic episode, but when decreased to 5mg MY SON SMILED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2YRS! For a mom there is no greater feeling. We have to occationally use an additional anxiety medicine durning periods of intense stress but for maintenance therapy it's great. I only gave it a rating of 7 due to the severe WEIGHT GAIN he has experienced. Good luck to all who suffer

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I have been suffering from Severe Depression, Anxiety and Panic attacks for 4 years. I have been on every anti-depressent and anti-anxiety med known along with mood stabilizers. All of these at the same time and always tweaking doses. I had no life I just wanted to be alone from my wife and kids and people in general. This hurt that I was not able to be the dad and husband I used to be. I have been on Lexapro for 4 weeks now and for the first time I have no anxiety or depression. It works for me

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: My husband used to take Paxil & was able to ween himself off successfully,over 6 years ago. Now,after being severely & permanently injured at work,having spinal surgery 2 years ago, he has severe anxiety,with good reason! & his doctors have put him on Valium, then Ativan, & then Klonapin. But recently, a new doctor asked him to try Lexapro. Boy what a wonder drug so far!! Very few side-effects,and it really gets him focused and happier!! If it continues,it will be a miracle for our family!!!!!!

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I am an 18 year old female, 5'4", 118 lbs, currently on 40 mg of Lexapro and 80 mg of Vyvanse for anxiety and other issues. Mild nausea for the first couple days of treatment, fine after that. No other notable effects until going from 30 to 40, now noticed a somewhat decreased sex drive and some difficulty orgasming. Still deciding whether that's worth it.
Otherwise, Lexapro is decent. No fabulous turnaround for me, but definitely helping me get on with life :-)

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: After battling the social stigma of admitting that I suffer from Depression and Anxiety, I researched on the internet and talked with my Medical Dr. about getting on Lexapro for my depression and Anxiety. However, I realized that there is about a 4 week window before the effects occur,,,, so if you are new to it like me and have anxiety,,,, I would consider requesting your dr. to put you on a short term Anxiety medication,,,, In my case, I went with Xanax, which seems ok,,,, so far....

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: Lexapro has been extremely effective for me. I did not have clinical depression, just depression from cumulative stress. It took about two weeks to kick in, but after that life went slowly back to normal. I am myself again and I get to go off the meds soon.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: Been on Lexapro for 4 years now. Have taken an SSRI for 15 years to battle Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Have taken Paxil & Zoloft in the past, but Lexapro trumps them, hands down. With Paxil & Zoloft I woke with anxiety. None with Lexapro. It's great and has improved my quality of life tremendously.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I have had Bipolar disorder since I was 14 and never knew what it was. about 4 years ago I asked my Doc for something to help with depression and he prescribed 10 MG of Lexapro. I couldn't believe how much it helped. He bumped me up to 20mg a day (I'm 6ft , 250 lbs).When I went to a rehab where they prescribed a lot more meds wich eventually had very bad side effects so I was pulled off of it and switched to welabutrin.I think this drug works great alone but watch for other drug reactions.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I've been on lexapro for about a year - finally went on something after waiting way too long. It works well, and I definitely feel better, but I'm not sure it's the best medication for the costs/side effects vs benifits. I had problems with my menstrual cycle and it was making me physically ill. I had to switch to a different BCP to get it straightened out. I also think that I need a higher dose than 10mg. It is helping, but I don't know if it's helping enough.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I am a 29 year old female who has been taking Lexapro for about 5 wks now to treat depression--5mg for 2 wks, then 10mg, and now up to my full time 20mg dose. 5mg didn't affect me much, but now I feel better than I have in years. Side effects were minimal, except for waking up with headaches recently since increasing my dosage. People in my life notice significant change in me. I wish I hadn't waited so long to seek treatment...this stuff is amazing!

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: I am a 50 year old female. I have been on every anit-depressent known to man. I also take xanax and have been on it for 23 yrs. (Hereditary chemical imbalance, I was a mess) Lexepro is the only med I have taken that has helped tremendously with no side effects. Doxepin made me gain LOTS of weight. I take it to eat because without it I keep knots in my stomach. Only thing lexepro did not help with. My appetite. Overweight now, but feel a lot better. Going to try quiting doxipin now with lexepro.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: I am a female, 27 yrs old, 115 lbs and have been on lexapro for nearly a month now. Within weeks I was at ease, less tense, less irritable, and able to relax for once. Even my boyfriend noticed the change, and I never informed him I was taking the medication! He says I have been less 'edgy' and am easier to be with. I feel much better about my outlook on life, and I am also talking to a therapist concurrently so I can learn how to deal with the hard things in life. It has worked wonders for me!

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Anxiety: **It will take up to 6 weeks to start working! Don't give up!** I am 6'5, 210 lbs (male) and have taken lexapro for 2 years for anxiety. In the first week, I had horrible insomnia and the anxiety increased horribly -- I ended up on Ativan to quell the anxiety for two weeks. But after that, the anxiety seriously decreased. I no longer sit counting the minutes until a meeting is over, or laying in bed worrying at night. The only side effect I still have is a lack of sex drive. Oh well.

Lexapro (escitalopram) for Depression: The damned stuff saved my life, or at least my quality of life. I was depressed for 35 years and about three years ago I decided I didn't care anymore what people thought - I was going to try medication for depression. I started with WellButrin, and it helped a bit - the constant undercurrent of grief began to let up a little. I figured "in for a penny, in for a pound" and agreed to try Lexapro, and for the first time since I was a kid, I felt *normal*. I have energy, have a life.

Now that I have been on lexapro for over a month, I feel much better and I don't worry about the things that use to bother me before I started taking lexapro.
