Im on day 10 on Lexapro 10mg, have a few side-effects: headaches when its wearing off, sexual s/e, can't concentrate (in convos or reading)...space out alot, a little fatigue. i do notice a difference already though (i went to the mall today, and not much anxiety for the couple hours) Has anyone who's been on it for a while have side effects that went away?
I'm glad to trade moodiness,crying myself to sleep, and getting stomach aches etc everytime i have to leave the house in exchange for the slight effects im feeling BUT the two things that bother me now are sex and headaches.
I take it at night (hoping it would help me sleep, but it hasn't) I wake up feeling good, able to go out/talk to people, but by late afternoon i just want to be by myself, have a headache etc. Thinking maybe taking it twice a day would even the whole day out. Is it too early to know if I'll need to adjust (i see my shrink in 10 days)
Are the side effects higher on higher doses? And might the sexual side effects wear off?
(thanks to all in advance)
