> For those interested... my experience with Lexapro has been very dissapointing. I've had a history of depression and only recently have begun med.'s as a possible help for any imbalance in my brain. I began taking wellbutrin, which I loved, but severe itching and loud ringing in my ears led me to have to stop.
> Then I began taking Lexapro 3 and 1/2 weeks now and can honestly say that it has made me feel worse than ever. I am tired all the time, I have terrible nightmares now waking me all night, I have dry mouth, and what's worse I don't even want my husband to touch me at all...and as well, I feel more anxious and irritable than ever! So, for those of you wondering...or suffering the same fate on this med... get off it! I know I stopped taking it as of today...and look forward to anything other than this feeling I've been having since on it.
> the best to all of you...

Hi Spaceghost,
I'm sorry to hear you had trouble on lexapro. It's been very helpful for me, but I do admit that the initial side effects were terrible and didn't go away until week 3 or 4. I hope you can find another med that helps you, nobody should have to live with depression.
K.

If you loved Wellbutrin, you'd probably do better with Strattera, a dopamine agonist (Mirapex or Requip), or the TCA desipramine (if you can tolerate it).
