It did with me anyway. I never have been on an antidee before, but I was determined to go thru whatever it took to try and get better(by the way I've been on it for 8 weeks now and feeling better than I can remember ever feeling). I don't remember if you said this is your first experience with anti's or not, but hang in there. There are some other SSRI's that I've seen on this board that I believe (though I've never been on them), that the side effects sound hellacious compared to Lexapro. So good luck and keep posting.

>iomasters,
the other wierd side effect I remember early on was a kind of metallic taste in my mouth and a feeling that I was starting a psychedelic trip. Have you felt that way?
