Lexapro

[Janette]

Anyone get relief with it? Not looking for side effects or bad experiences. That feeds my issues.

I take Celexa but my mom does take lexapro. She has been on it for many years. She says it works well. She didn’t really have any side effects.

My fiancee takes it, she started it a while back. No side effects. It's worked extremely well for her.

It is one of the faster acting SSRIs and has a mild (for most people, non-existent) side effect profile. And it is effective at lower dosages for anxiety alone.

So my fiancee had a follow-up this morning with the doc who prescribed her Lexapro. It's apparently caused her to gain a fair amount of weight, so he's weaning her off of Lexapro and putting her on Wellbutrin. That's the only side effect she's experienced though. And that's a very common side effect of Lexapro and similar meds.

I have been on it and worked really well for me for many years. Went off due to weight gain and sex drive side effects

Hey there - I’ve been on Lexapro on and off for several years and had good results with it. It take a while to really get to the full effect (2-4 weeks), but after that it just helps me manage the symptoms a lot better. I won’t say the anxiety goes completely away, but it doesn’t knock me down as much and I can handle it so much better. I’m on 10 mg.

I've been on Lexapro for probably a decade. I don't notice any side effects and it took several weeks to really get it into my system and feel better. Like H&H said, it doesn't kill the anxiety, but it has made it manageable. I've also stopped taking it a few times after feeling better and did experience some very minor withdrawals (zaps). I did find, however, that I needed to be on the meds so I restarted the script.

I have taken Lexapro for many years for depression and to keep my OCD in check. I've been very happy with its effectiveness.
