> First things I've noticed -- it really does have milder SE's than Celexa. Felt tired the first day; switched to night, haven't had a problem. Also, on Celexa (which I quit after a week), I _immediately_ developed SSRI sweatiness/lack of libidio. Not there on the lex.

> Felt weird yesterday, like my brain wanted to go into a migraine. Took the lex, few hours later the feeling was gone. Maybe it will work for these migraines.

> Have to say it seems good.Hi there, with some people 5mg has done the trick. Others have had to go to 20mg. I take about 7mg and have been for a long time. Take your time in moving up the dose. Do it slowly and you may hit the perfect dose on the way up. TAKE CARE!!!
