In reply to Good and Bad About Lexapro Please, posted by Phillipa on September 22, 2005, at 20:18:54
I was on Lexapro for a short time, about two years ago, and it didn't work out for me. On the starting dose of 5mg, it just wasn't working. There's nothing else to say about it, although I was in pretty deep trouble at that time. When it was raised to 10mg, though, I went into a tailspin. It got to the point that I couldn't even talk without a huge effort. That's when I stopped it.
Shortly after that is when I attempted suicide. {shrug} I was in deep trouble during that time, but the Lexapro wasn't the right choice for me.
I hope, though, that your experience will be different. I know that a lot of people have had good response to it, and it's certainly worth a try. Let us know how it works out.
