I was on 10 mg of
Lexapro for 2 1/2 years until I started tapering off a week and a half ago. The ONLY negative side effects I had on the Lexapro were the weight gain and the sexual side effects. In all other respects, my life was amazing. But I no longer wish to deal with these side effects and that is the only reason I am going off the Lexapro. Other than this, the Lexapro was an amazing thing for my life.
