Just when I thought I was through, some physical ailment would return and harass me for a week or so. I am now 14mo out and I can with confidence say that I am 99.9% back to normal!! I had what I believe a toxic reaction to Lexapro in February of 2007 when I was put on it to relieve major panic disorder. Take a search of my username (sctschk) to see the list of reactions I had to endure over the time my body was recovering... not fun! I can say now though that I think I've finally healed... or at least have very VERY minor residual problems over the past few months. I would say 12mo is a good target to feel "normal" based on my experience. All problems have finally gone away, and all I'm left with now are just very sensitive/ticklish feet. Guess that's not too bad considering the rest - eh??? Probably normal for me anyway, I just didn't notice it before!! 
So, I wanted to pop in and let you all know that no matter how hard the road is, how ********************py you feel, there is a light at the end of this tunnel. It DOES get better and you can make it. And the best part about it is that not only did I overcome the Lex reaction, but the panic disorder too. I am so grateful to have my life back!!! Who hooo!!

If you had loss of libido, did it EVER come back? thanks
