Hi Zingaling,
Some of the side effects I experienced the first few weeks on lex include: increased anxiety, night sweats, inability to think clearly and low appetite. I've been on 10 mg for 35 days now and most of the side effects I just mentioned disappeared by week 4. Although, I've heard that people who switch from another drug to lex experience fewer side effects.
The benefits of lex have been wonderful. My anxiety/depression has been on the decline...and my general outlook has been much more optomistic lately.
I'm not sure what you can expect when you go off of lex. Some people have no problem with it, while others experience withdrawl. Each person is different. Good luck on lexapro, I hope it is able to help you!
