Repost- Lexapro or psych-out?

Posted by Scott in Vermont on April 6, 2004, at 10:32:21

I posted this on the Psychology board, was advised it might fit better here.
I'm hitting week 1 of Lexapro, and have started to experience some of the undesirable side effects I read about. Interestingly, the ones that I feared the most (increased anxiety, insomnia, and ejaculatory disorder) are the only ones actually occuring.
The ones that I wasn't worried about (fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, etc) are the ones that are not happening.
It may seem obvious that I have psyched myself out, but how can one tell? I'm aware that I've only been on this for a week, and that it may be too soon for anything to really be happening.
I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this (with Lexapro or any other medication), what can be done about it, and how things worked out for you.
