Sounds like you and I have had similar experiences with Lexapro. I am always glad to hear when it's working well for others, too. The dry mouth was one of the longest lasting side effects for me; it took a good 6 weeks to go away completely. I started on 10 mg, then bumped up to 15 to see if it would help w/my anxiety as well as the depression (which was completely gone in 2 weeks!) and then to 20. At 15 I felt like a million bucks, and at 20 I felt "flat." So I am back to 15 and feel great again.
It's funny that you said you talk a lot now; I find that I am much more chatty, and not only that, I have my sense of humor and even my quick wit (if I do say so myself) back. I love that - I love to make people laugh!! And now I laugh all the time too - I had forgotten how great that feels!
