Theres a topic here called "Lexapro" the best thing to do is go there and read as much of the stories as you can! You will learn that their are alot of other people dealing with the same issues as you, and who better to offer some good advice than someone whose been there. There is wonderful support there also, and they can give you ideas on how long to expect symptoms to last, and offer some helpful tips. Hope this helps.
