> > hi, i'm into my second week. i started at 2.5 mgs and today increased to 5 mg. i've noticed that while i do not feel sad or weepy, i really feel no emotions at all!! i just can't cry even when i try to think of something that would normally make the tears come. does this last or will i regain some balance with regard to emotions? also my i'm VERY forgetful and my head feels like i've been on a bender, just kind of big. i guess i just feel 'out of it'. does this improve too? anyone else go through this or am i losing it? i've also experienced a bit of insomnia. thanks all for your answers.

> I began taking lexapro for panic and depression. I had bad crying jags before lex. These stopped almost instantly. But for over a month I was caught between happy and sad. I was numb and felt nothing. The forgetting thing I would watch old tv shows and see if I could remember the casts real names. Chances are you are going through a phase where chemicals are changing in your brain. At about 6 weeks if everything works right you should feel so much better. Your not losing it or going crazy.
> WAYNEEverything takes time, relax. I've been on lexpro for a couple of months and have no side effects at all, none. I've tried Celexa, no prob w/that, Zoloft, gained a ton of weight so I'm glad to be stable.
