> It amazes me how the medicine effects us all so differently! I have terrible constipation, but I do have reflux too. Hang in there, hopefully it will pass soon (no pun intended).
What surprises me is that different SSRIs effect the same person so differently. I don't pretend to understand the differences. I do understand Lexapro is kind of what I jokingly call a new designer SSRI, so I expect it to be different, but for sure, from personal experience, I know life on the different SSRIs before Lexapro has been different, and also different when I had different needs. About 6 years ago, I was on Zoloft for anxiety and it took the maximum dose to have any effect at all. Years later, when on Celexa, a moderate dose worked fine. Now, recently, I can't take Celexa again as it makes me quite nauseated, even after 4 months, so I don't get what's going on at all.
All I know is that if Lexapro works, I plan to stay on it in hopes things stay consistent for a long time.
