I definitely did not have positive experiences with Lexapro. I had been on 20 mg.- 40 mg. Celexa for almost four years before trying Lex. The Celexa worked really well for a long time, but eventually, it seemed to kind of poop out on me, so Lex was the next thing my doc recommended. I took 10 mg. Lex for about 2 months (maybe longer, I can't remember). The side effects were: nausea, terrible brain fog and spaciness, jaw clenching (but I still get this on Cymbalta), and of course the obliterated sex drive.
That being said, I do know people who are doing really well on it. My boss takes 20 mg. per day and feels great. He does act a little loopy sometimes, but hey! He's happy.
Good luck to you!
