> Eleanor, I'm currently on 10mg Lexapro for two weeks now and have indeed noticed subdermal bumps on my chin and a decrease in appetite among many other unexpected and unpleasant SE's. I don't usually have break outs...a bonus, I suppose. I'm only two weeks in so I can't speak to menstrual SE's yet. There's no rhyme or reason here, mood-wise: mostly tweaked, sometimes way down. Xanax not doing the trick to help with anxiety. I had to ask my boyfriend if I seemed "okay" in mixed company. It's so bad in my head that I can't tell anymore. I know you didn't ask for all this information, so I'll stop before I go too far. It's early days yet, yet. I know that. We just have to be patient. Let's keep each other posted, yes? -Bina

Bina: Many thanks. I take really good care of my skin and never break out. So, it helps to know that this is part of the deal. I also see that I have to cut back on coffee in the morning to keep from being jittery by noon. Then again, none of these things are as bad as the crushing depression was! I'm not even as far into this treatment as you, but I'm feeling very optimistic. I feel like help is on the way and I'm just being very gentle with myself right now. I'm so glad to not be experiencing jaw clenching or painful headaches. Do stay in touch and let me know how you're feeling. I'm going to try skin masks and other facial products. If the bumps continue to bother me, I might see a dermatologist. For now, I'm just glad to see the fog lifting. Oh...I have Atavan for the anxiety and I have only taken it twice. So far, so good.
I wish you the best and look forward to hearing from you.
