In reply to Anyone switched to Lexapro? « ggrrl, posted by Dr. Bob on June 11, 2002, at 7:52:48
I have switched computers to try and send this
message, forgive the previous empty ones. I am on 5 mgs of lexapro. This is the end of the second week for me. My Pdoc started me at this dose because in the past I have had side effects
from other SSRI's. Creepy crawly, not quite fitting into my skin......The budgies (my mama's
term from a long time ago)feelings. This is kind of a last chance for me I guess.
I have GAD and insomnia. I guess I don't really know what normal feel like.After the second day on lexapro....no more ambien. That is a plus. One less pill to take! I feel less anxious except when I smoke.
That seems to negate the effect of the lexapro.
ANyway, so far so good. I will check back in in a week or so to share my thoughts on this medicine.
