I find that it makes me very calm, it's much easier to take things in stride, be patient with the kids and with work, etc.
I haven't noticed any weight gain on it yet. I'm overweight, was aiming for losing about 1 lb a week, which I've still been achieving (except for the 10 days I was on WB, when I lost 5 lbs, and this over Thanksgiving!). I haven't noticed any problem with sticking to my diet or with getting myself to the gym.
I do have a little queasiness in the morning when I first wake up, but it usually passes withing a couple of minutes of getting out of bed. And keep in mind, I just got sober right before I started taking it, so I'm comparing a Lexapro morning to an 8-drink hangover morning...I'll take the Lexapro, thankyouverymuch. I also get a minor dizzy spell now and again, but nothing that bothers me much.
The worst side effect for me is the difficulty with orgasms.
