I've been on 10 mg Lexapro for 4 weeks now and can't believe how much better I feel. I am in a stressful situation in my love life, and while a month ago I was almost wishing I was dead so I wouldn't have to face all the indecision, distress and conflict I was feeling, now it is really tolerable, even though the situation is not resolved yet. Before Lexapro I would worry and obsess about the situation almost constantly, which is no longer the case, to my huge relief. Even if I mess things up with both people, somehow it doesn't seem like it would be the end of the world.
The worst side effect I've had is feeling extremely sleepy for the first three weeks--to the point co-workers were commenting on it. Suddenly after three weeks the tiredness lessened markedly. I hope it continues this way. I take the Lexapro in the morning and may try it at night to see if that makes any additional difference.
