> Lundbeck say that 6.9% of people taking Lexapro had somnolence in recent trials, compared to 4.7% in the Celexa group. The difference was not statistically significant. Could you tell us your proof source for the statement that Lexapro 'doesn't have somnolence.'

And a lot of bad info going around. I was really just trying to get rid of the bad info, and give the correct info since I had already been trained on Lexapro. It soon turned into a nice info room for all to ask and share what they knew/experienced (especially since Lexapro launched.) I have been cautious to not come off as "salesy", but more informative..always having a proofsource to support my statements...I still get some "stiff" posts, but I dont take it personal. I am more interested in learning more about the field I work in (the people here, and the meds/combos, and lots more) and how I can better serve the DR's I see and share with them how Lexapro can help their patients...I hope you can give lexapro more time...how long for you now?

>Is somnolence exhaustion? That's me - couldn't keep my eyes open the first week. Better now third week but still not my old energetic self. Keep waiting. Maybe i'm less than 1% in some study or two - but that still means SOMEBODY is gonna have that effect. pharmrep i find your comments helpful but only to a degree - i know my side effects whether thay show in tests in others or not. -monster
