> i am in week 4 of lexapro and noticed right away the decrease in my appetite. i have lost 10 pounds. slowly my appetite is coming back and i'm starting to feel better, even sleeping better. i took the advise of mariposa and tim (thank you!) and stuck with it. when i was prescribed this drug i was told of no SE's - if i hadn't read this message board i would have thought i was going crazy. the first couple of weeks are hard, but stick with it. good luck! kinsey
I'm glad I was able to help!!! And it's great you feel you are progressing, the worst of it should be over (however I did experience anxiety and increased depression weeks 4-5, hope you DON'T).
Isn't it just awful that all these physicians are giving us stuff and then not warning us about what could happen! Like yourself, I was told NOTHING about SE's, and if I had not done my own research and found this site, I would have quit by end of week 2, which would have been a shame because I feel Lex has helped me a LOT!
Best of LUCK and keep us posted on how you are doing.~~~8|8
