I have been on Lexepro since my husband died nearly four years ago now. I am feeling as if I am moving on but still get very down in the depths, though I can now pull myself up. This drug has been brilliant in allowing me to cope and also to still FEEL......has anyone else had experience of this med - can you take it for EVER? I would like to....!
Thanks for any thoughts on this....

Interesting that you can feel on Lexapro. I was on it for two weeks. I felt as though I'd had a lobotomy. No feelings. No desires. No enjoyment. Also no pain which was good. No appetite which was the best! I did have trembling that frightened me. Teeth chattering that would wake me in the middle of the night. Glad it's helped you so much, everyone is different, aren't they?

I used Lexapro, and we are all different chemistry wise. If you feel good with it great!! What is your dose, and can your doctor bump it up a little--especially with the holidays coming. Forever? Probably. That's what I was told.

strangely enough, Timbuktoo, I went through a strange time when I had a dreadful inner trembling - I thought this was due to diabetes, but I havnt had it for ages, so I reckon its not, probably might have been the Lexapro - in retrospect. I wish it had made me lose my appetite...*sigh*.........

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
