> By "foggy" I mean I can't quite focus on things, it takes me a little longer to process info and I don't feel like I'm all here. I feel foggiest a few hours after taking Lex, so I've started taking it at night so I can sleep through the worst of it. This has really eliminated my need for the advil. (Taking an advil seemed to help but I was concerned about having one every day.) Have you experienced any of this?

Yes! I think we are feeling the same way, foggy not all there, kinda like a few weeks in a day dream. It is so nice to know that someone else feels this way. I just talked to a Pdoc and she said that 40%-50% of Lexapro users get this along with "tunnel vision" which I have also felt. She says that it will go away and to keep at it. Since you and I seem to be on the same time period of using Lex, please keep in touch and tell me how your symptoms go.
