I just glanced at this board....I've been on lexapro for a few months now..
I'm at 10 mg.When I first started the medication I didn't transition very well. I was on suicide watch for 72 hours while I was adjusting to it. After that everything seemed to be returning to normal.
When I was on celexa I had HUGE problems with being tired, on lexapro I feel like I don't have to sleep (it's the exact opposite...)..I'm becoming slightly insomniatic.
I'm being treated for hypo-manic depression so I've noticed that lexapro controls swings much better than celexa (which did nothing for it).
Additionally I had significant weight gain with Celexa and I have noticed that this has stopped with lexapro, though I have a stronger appetite.
All in all I think that lexapro works well with me...but hey every drug reacts differently to everyone
