> I wanted to know has anyone else suffered these side effects? And are Lexapro's any better?I experienced weight gain on all ADs, except Lexapro seems to be much better in that area. Lexapro for me made me a little jittery at first, like I had 1 cup too much coffee. But after not being able to pry myself out of bed off-and-on for a couple months, I didn't mind it that much.
