yes, i have had flu-ey symptoms for the last few weeks trying to find the right dose of lexapro; i am confident it is depression and not the flue; i think i went up to 20 mg too fast, and have gone down to 15, taking 10 in the morning and the other 5 in the evening; the jury is still out for me even after 6 full weeks on lexapro; my head fees dull and i feel disoriented somewhat; an hour to 3 hours after i take my morning dose, i feel depressed, and i know it is the lexapro; i am going to give it more time though, because it took Paxil a long time to level out my experience, actually much longer than the six weeks everyone says; i wish i knew more about the proper dosing of lexapro; i seem to be hearing some conflicting reports from people's experiences and information
> I went through the flu-like symptoms this weekend. I've started taking the lex at night before bed because of the zombie-like feeling, and this morning, I feel much better. Still having the night-sweats -- I think the bulk of the flu-like stuff was day-sweats (if there is such a term!).
