> Help! Can you guys give us some specific examples of how you feel better. I am freaking out, I am on day 2 of Lexapro and it is not sounding good. I hate being nauseous, though I could use to lose some weight. But seriously, is it really worthwhile? I was on Wellbutrin a couple years ago and had some side effects including alopecia (hair loss) which went away. But this sounds more like effexor type side effects. Okay, so if you can give me a light at the end of the tunnel, that would be great. Peace and good health.
If you don't mind spending a little time reading......there is a lot of good info, experiences, etc. in previous periods on this board. Just about any question you have has been dealt with, and many similar experiences are detailed.
If you are not into that - I can tell you it does get better, but you have to endure the initial side effects to get there. I have been on Lex almost 1 year and it has been great for me.
Best of luck!~~~8|8
