> Hi Charly,
> I'm on Lexapro, too and it's been 4 weeks. I feel awful on it. I have headaches, the throbbing kind, dizziness and much anxiety. I have called with updates. My doc put me on Serax for the anxiety. Which is o.k., but not the answer. He wanted to raise my dosage but again I think it's not the answer. I shall call again about changing meds. For me this one sucks! But I hope for you it will work. In any case, good luck! Let us know how you fare in the long run.

>However, I tried the immediate release 7 years ago and even on 75mgs I was sweating up a storm and no relief in depressive symptoms. Before the XR became available, some docs would call it
"SideEffexor". I understand the XR is much better tolerated, but chose Lexapro. Lilly is coming out with an AD that works similar to Effexor but the re-uptake of serotonin and neurepinephrine is equally balanced. He's currently doing study trials and is very impressed with the results and no sexual dysfunction.
