> I'm a 36 year old male about to start Lexapro. Previous posts seem to say that it causes headaches, anxiety, and sexual side effects. I will be taking the drug together with regular shrink therapy (3+ days per week). Any suggestions, advice would be very appreciated. Ajax.
It's one of the few drugs I've been on where the side-effects actually do diminish with time. So in other words, be patient with the side-effects before giving up on it. I had anxiety, headache, trouble sleeping, and sex side-effects in the beginning. All of those are nearly non-existent now. I recently increased to 15mg, and some anxiety has returned but I expect this to get better before long. Good Luck! It's a great med!
