Hi I just started Lexapro 10mg a week and a half ago and wanted to get some feedback on people who take this or have taken it. The first day I was really dizzy but have been ok since then the only thing is that I am pretty anxious in the mornings??? I also take it between 8-9 pm so that may be why and have also lost 3-4 pounds, but if anyone could let me know things about this both good and bad that'd be great, thanks in anvance.

Bobbie I just peeked at this first page and below your post theres at least 6 other Lexapro questions or discussions about it. I hope there's something helpful in those for ya?
I am not familiar with it myself. I hope you find answers that you are seeking

Hi I started Lexapro 5 mg. 2 weeks ago. Dizzy, stomach upset. Have anxiety in the morning. I take it about noon. The doctor wants me to go up to 10mg. don't know how I feel about that. I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I used the program in the past for anxiety and it worked really well. I am hoping to do that again. so I don't have to take the drugs.

I have been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder and was put on Lexapro 10mg. I was on that for 2 weeks. It started working about 10 days in. I was still a bit on edge so my Dr. upped it to 20mg. That was four weeks ago and I have felt fine.

I have been on 10mg of Lexapro since Feb., of 2009, and after about a month I started to feel a positive change. I had felt fine since I've been taking it, however I still battle with the neg., obsessive thoughts and body symptoms at times. So I just recently upped my dosage to 15mg., and the 1st couple nights I had a hard time falling asleep, but that went away,and I have felt much better with less body symptoms, and less neg., thoughts! I think I'm going to stick with 15mg for awhile to see how it goes if I need to up it again I will.

hi bobbie!

i've been on lexapro for years. first 10, then 15, now 20 ml every morning. the 20 has been for about 5 years. it's been a wonderful medication for me. i've had no side effects, no weight gain, etc.

hope this helps!
