> hi jim,
> thanks for welcoming me!my side effects so far well i felt sick at first ,but thats passed,and now its just annoying little stuff like a taste in my mouth like ive been eating old socks! and yawning all the time,feeling a bit spaced but no therapeutic results yet,spose its a bit soon,after a week!
>
> i dont know what a dx is though. im on 5mg but im going to ask for that to be increased next time i go in. i got put on it for depression,the first time ive been on an anti depressant since prozac,that made me absolutely loo-laa! thanks for your help!hi fanni.
pleasure's mine ... i have fallen for some of the abreviations/code this site uses: dx = diagonsis ; rx = ... well that one's obvious ... my "dx" is depression too ... lexapro is the only AD (anti-depressant) i've ever taken ... i had been cutting 10mg tabs in half until last thursday when my gp increased me to 10mg ... are you spliting the 10s?
sometimes it can take 4 to 6 weeks before SE (side-effects)s go away ... sounds like your doing great for your 1st week ... your SEs sound exactly like mine, especially that taste in your mouth ... hang in there!
thanks for your response ... very nice, but never required! ... btw, blkvettes is cool ... lots of supportive folks here ... glad to have you aboard.
got to go do my taxes now ... and as blkvettes would post:... TAKE CARE !!!!!!!
