KayJ - All I can say is that with me Lexapro got way worse with the way I felt before it got better, but once it kicked in and started working - about 5 months - It is a MIRACLE drug for me! Obviously, not every drug affects everyone the same so maybe it is not for you. I have insomnia, too adn take Benadryl at night. It is the ingredient in Tylenol PM that makes you sleepy. I had some nausea and diarrhea at first, but that went away, too. I even threw up a few times, but well worth it considering the ultimate outcome. Only you and your doctor can decide what is best for you. I started on 10 mg and went up to 15 mg last week (week 12). I feel pretty good now. Try to hang in there if you can. Talk to Mariposa -- she had a LOT of side effects at first and now sings the praises.
