The deal with side effects is that many times they go away in time. If you take one full dose and get unpleasant side effects, you can always start really low (Lexapro maybe even 2.5 mg) and slowly move up in dosage. This is the approach my pdoc uses and it makes a lot of sense. Based on people's experiences on this board with Lexapro it can really pay off.

> I took the 10mg of lexapro ONCE and that was all it took to scare me into never taking it again. I woke up in the middle of the night with cold sweats, shaking uncontrollably, and I could not go back to sleep no matter how hard I tried. I felt like I was on speed or something until the next afternoon. I was very excited about this new drug so the side effects were a huge dissapointment. Did anyone else have this happen to them??
