Just wanted to share!!!! Yes!!! Lexapro has finally kicked in and has dramatically lifted my unipolar depression. The first 3 weeks were horrible especially, since I had to get off Nardil for 2 weeks before my pdoc would Rx Lexapro. So for the first couple of weeks, I was practically bedridden, as I was so tired and had flu like symptoms in that every bone in my body ached. On top of that, I had intense insomnia which I finally had to take Ambien and then Seroquel. Currently, I am not having to take any meds for sleep, although I have mild insomnia, but NO DEPRESSION! All I can say for new Lex users is to hang in there because it will get better.
