I have taken a varitey of AD's for some years but did not realise they were not doing much for me. The Laxapro was amazing. Within 4 days I was feeling so good - like I never realised I could feel so good. IT did poop out after a few weeks but I increased the dose up to 15mg daily.
The starting does is 10mg daily I think. The side effects were the same as the other ssri's - bit of nausea, mild headache and some minor dizziness but this settled after a week.
I changed in one day from Luvox to Lexapro the next.Unfortuneately the Lexapro kicked me into a high (I am Bipolar) which ssri's can do for people like me. BUt it has really been the only one that worked well. I am still taking it along with my BP medication.
