> Hey Steve -
Hang in there..my first day was almost the same. Liquid bowel movements and dizziness..I called the Forest Labs hotline to see if the diarhea would resolve. It was gone the next day. By the third day I laughed out loud for the first time in months, and now about 6 weeks later, I have no side effects other than thirst, and my mood has steadily improved. It's been a lifesaver for me, however, now that I'm feeling relatively sane, I'm considering some kind of "talk therapy" to get at the bottom of some of my issues.Take care.
Speedy
Hi all -

> Just started Lexapro 10 mg today, and it was weird to say the least! I got this terrible headache, my face felt flushed, I ran to the bathroom three times due to diarrhea, I was yawning all day and slept for three hours in the afternoon, I got his raging hardon that wouldn't go away for a few hours. Geez! I will stick it out for at least a week and see if some of this stuff resolves. I won't hand in the towel just yet. I am being weaned off Remeron after being on it for 6 years. I'm at 30 mg now and in a month will be dropped to 15 mg and then a month later, be done with it.
