> I am on day one of Lexapro (10mg). I haven't noticed any differences or side effects today. I have been on 40 mg of Celexa and Ambien 10 mg. for sleep-prn, for 6 months prior. I have slight O.C. disorders (according to folks around me), and a problem with anxiety attacks and anger management(full blown temper tantrums). Celexa has really helped the symptoms, no side effects to speak of except WEIGHT GAIN - 30# in the 6 month time frame. If I sit still I eat-My doctor said "Don't sit still"(He actually joked)- He thinks Lexapro will help. I started looking for info. on the net and found you all today.

Cearbhal,
The side effects (s/e) hit me hard! That's why I was out there looking for this site a few days ago. I was hoping to find some others going through what I was experiencing - and I did, thankgoodness.
Be grateful for not having any s/e. I think I have lost weight in the last 4 days. I'm not very hungry, and I have had some nausea. On day 1, I felt like I was on speed all day and I have been slowly adjusting each day. I was practically bouncing off the walls. My husband wasn't sure what to think... ;)
Day 5 seems to be better though. I actually took a nap this afternoon. I hope I can sleep through the night tonight. My husband has baby duty (we have a 4 month old, which = postpartum depression for me).
I am hoping to feel GREAT in the next couple of weeks - Wharf - has been encouraging.
Happy Thanksgiving to you. Let me know how you are feeling as the days go by.
