hey, dlex,
> I have been taking 10 mg of lexapro diluted in 8 oz of water for about 1.5 yrs. It has been literally a lifesavor. I had tried for many years and many uncontrolable bouts of depression or maybe it was the panic disorder. I know I have had some serious panic attacks that I could'nt seem to get out of. I was HORRIBLE.
i am grateful you've found the magic bullet that works for you.
adapting to an SSRI can be so hard.
it is gratifying when it can relieve suffering.> I have a question for any body who takes lexapro, have you noticed considerable weight gain? I have gained 30lbs and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.
i have gained weight, but it has not correlated with my taking lexapro.
for me, it correlates to a lifetime misspent eating as much as possible and avoiding any exercise or exertion, which worked okay when i was younger and had a metabolism.Now, not so much.
now i think i will have to stay hungry for the rest of my life
and exercise constantly if i don't want to become overweight.there is an occassional side effect to lexapro that could be salient:
lexapro (and/or its relieving depression) made food taste good (better).take care,
~ jim
