Perhaps this will go away with time . . .It only took me two days to feel relief from my physical tension and excessive worry. I'd say within two weeks my depression had lifted considerably. For me Lexapro has brought back color to my life. Until I started this medication everything in life seemed gray, gloomy, and hopeless. What I am most amazed with is how quickly Lexapro started working at first I thought it was psychological but it wasn't. To go from a slow progression into depression and be able to come out of it that quickly for me really made me see how truly depressed I was...very scary! As for side effects... my libido has been definitely lowered which I don't like but I'd rather have that then the depression. Other then that I've really not noticed any other bothersome problems really only positive side effects like feeling refreshed upon waking in the morning. I really could just go on all day about Lexapro but I won't...not yet! I'm soooo glad to have my life back!
