In reply to Starting Lexapro, kind of scared, posted by vicwa on January 3, 2005, at 22:43:09
Hi and welcome to the board. I take lex and haven't really had mnay side effect probs w/ it. On the other hand, it didn't help a ton, but that's just me. There is a good chance that it will help for you. This board can be a little scarey some times b/c we all focus on what's not working rather than what is. Also, the folks on this board tend to be those of us who experience treatment resistant depression. Most people aren't in that boat.
One piece of advice I'd give you is to make sure that your prescribing doctor knows what s/he is doing. Sometimes GP's can do a good job w/ fairly straight-forward cases, but if you feel like the lex doesn't help you, and you want to try something else, you should consider seeing a psychiatrist. (If you aren't already, I was just making an assumption). Just some unsolicited advice. :)
Best of luck to you. Hope that the lex can work its magic for you!
