In reply to I really love Lexapro, posted by Glydin on September 25, 2005, at 8:57:24
I have only been on lexapro for about 1 1/2 weeks, starting at 2mg, now at 6mg, probably aiming for 10mg. No complaints so far, other than the usual ssri start up side effects. I was on prozac for 5 years prior to that, and then it kind of pooped out finally, and raising the dose only brought me extreme agitation. Did lots of research, and on paper lexapro looked like my best option in terms of side effects. efficacy, speed of onset, and anxiety. So far so good, but we'll see.
Can't give a true assessment of it though, because my dose is low, it's only been a short time, I also take 2.5mg zyprexa twice a day, and there is still some prozac in my system fading away.
