Diagnosis - PMDD and depression.Rx - Lexapro. Started at 5mg 16 months ago, currently at 30mg. First 3 weeks were VERY rough and it took 9 weeks before I noticed any *good results*, but I have never felt SO GOOD about going to bed.....I don't dread it any more, have not had any nites where I could NOT fall asleep, rarely wake in the early AM, if I do, I go right back to sleep. I fall asleep easily (20-30 min, often befor that even), wake refreshed! I LOVE IT!!! At first had intense dreams, but not any more, I can rarely recall what I dreamt now.
Hope this info helps!~~~8|8
