In reply to Doing well on Lexapro, posted by Micki on November 5, 2002, at 20:21:21
> I've been on 10 mg Lexapro for 4 weeks now and can't believe how much better I feel. I am in a stressful situation in my love life, and while a month ago I was almost wishing I was dead so I wouldn't have to face all the indecision, distress and conflict I was feeling, now it is really tolerable, even though the situation is not resolved yet. Before Lexapro I would worry and obsess about the situation almost constantly, which is no longer the case, to my huge relief. Even if I mess things up with both people, somehow it doesn't seem like it would be the end of the world.

> The worst side effect I've had is feeling extremely sleepy for the first three weeks--to the point co-workers were commenting on it. Suddenly after three weeks the tiredness lessened markedly. I hope it continues this way. I take the Lexapro in the morning and may try it at night to see if that makes any additional difference.Micki,
Im glad to hear your doing better. I remember your posts when you first started Lexapro, you sound much better! I too obsess about things but since the Lexapro I find I don't obsess nearly as much as I did and when I start to I can stop it before it gets out of control. I would try the Lex in the pm if it makes you sleepy. Good luck with you decision on love.
