> I have a question. I began Lexapro (10mg) and in just one day I started to feel a buzz. I am not screaming at my children anymore, nor am I getting anxiety. However, I feel a little "lobotomized" in that I've become a little bland in my personality. I am usually very upbeat and exciteable. I'm wondering if I should take only 5 mg/day instead. What do you think? I was on Zoloft a couple years ago, and although it didn't give me quite the "buzz" Lexapro has, Zoloft gave me complete and total sexual dysfunction, not to mention cognitive deficiencies (I'd mix my words and have trouble reading other words). Any women out there suffering from anorgasmia on Lexapro?
** Remember..all of these are "mind altering" drugs to some extent, and it takes awhile to adjust. 1-2 weeks is when most will experience Lexapro "working" and even sooner for anxiety. Dont go to 5mg...give it time, as with most AD's most s/e will subside with time...I'll bet that lobotomy feeling will dissipate..hang in there.
