In reply to Celexa vs. Lexapro, posted by wolo on August 24, 2004, at 11:40:10
I suffer from similar symptoms normally. I went on Lexapro (10mg) and initially the adjustment was really hard...irritability, no insomnia thankfully, tiredness but I took my meds before bed and that worked well. The only side effects I have experienced from the Lex now that it has kicked in (and it can take 6-8 weeks) are anorgasma/loss of sex drive, and mild weight gain 5-8 pounds. For some people the sex drive comes back after some months, and I work out a lot so I know the weight gain is from the meds. It's not huge though and Lex has made me feel great otherwise.
