I'm not a regular on the board but do come here once in a while to try to learn, help, support.
My pdoc added Lexapro into my "cocktail" this past Thursday.

I've been looking things uo here and on the internet and finding lots of mixed messages. Overall I think I'm getting positive info. But~I would like to hear from real people. If any of you are on Lexapro and have the chance~could you please let me know your expereinces; good or bad.

Thanks so much. Take care everyone.

I tried Lexapro for some time and initially it seemed to work for me, but eventually it stopped. I didn't experience any side effects, though, which was great. Of course, every person is different, so I'd definitely give it a whirl and see if it works for you. Best of luck!

Lexapro did not work for me. One of the side effects that people are concerned about is weight gain.

Caused huge weight gain over time for me. And did not alleviate symptoms at all.

It gave me a headache for over 2 weeks. Come to find out it is not to be given to those who have chronic migraines.
Was a wee pissed when I found that out!!!
