hi Sekou,
thanks for your contribution ... ...
i've been on lex for 7 months ... the last six at 10mg (couldn't handle 10mg at first, so i wnet to 5mg for a month, then to 10) ...
all of my SEs went away by week two and a half ... well maybe the sweating episodes lasted another couple of weeks ...
... but my 1st week, even at my reduced dose, was a doozy .... but lexapro has been very effective medicine for me and every discomfort has been worth it ... ... ...... i'm "diagnosed" (no pdoc) as 'depressed' ...
should your SEs get uncomfortable, try posting about them here ... especially if it helps you feel better ... ... that's what we're here for
....
... and even if they don't ... post here long and often anyway ... ... if it can be good for you, it's good for us!take care and let us hear from you,
~ jim
