Any good thoughts about Lexapro?

Posted by Doug in PA on July 4, 2003, at 6:48:55

So far I have seen mainly negative things about Lex, does anyone have positive comments?? I have been on 10 mg for 5 weeks and have not noticed any positive effects. It seems less effective than Paxil.

iv been on lexapro 20mg for about 3 months. It has put my deppresion in remission and greatly reduced my anxiety to almost non-existant. the only side-effect i have had ,was for about 1 week, was anorgasmia. thank god that cleared it self up after a little bit.

I'm in week six of lexapro and have started to notice a difference. my anxiety is almost gone, i'm sleeping alittle better at night and the depression is totally gone. it has been a slooow process for me so maybe that's why lexapro gets a bad rap. the only side effect for me was loss of appetite in the first couple weeks - but that has returned. much luck to you - kinsey

I've only been on Lexapro for about a month and I am feeling great. I was on 300mg of Effexor and 300 mg of Wellbutrin. Now I just take the Lex.

it's the only drug that I've used that has had no side effects (for me) - including sexual side effects which have always been a big problem for me. I'm on 10 mg.

Have been on 10mg for 5 mos. SE's bad at first but all went away. Started to see improvement at 6 weeks. Still doing well, depression under control and no fits of rage since I started taking Lex.

Good luck to you!~~~8|8
