Well I can't speak to the "time of the month", but I haven't gained any weight. I do feel tired sometimes, but tired is alot better place for me than on the edge of my seat with anxiety. I had stomach problems when I started it and yawned non stop for about 2 weeks. I also didn't sleep that well at first.
 
Oppppppppps sorry, about that time of the month..............:) I am going to start taking mine at night as well.

How long have you been on Lex?
 
I am starting week three on Lexapro........from coming off Prozac and have a question?

I started out of 5mgs week one week two 10mgs.......and been OK....now upped to 15mgs.........now I am noticing my anxiety getting to me.........jittery, off balance (Slightly)...........will this subside?

I had a attack yesterday while driving.......scared me.....please tell me this will pass............my doctor eventually wants me up to 20mgs if needed...............:(

Please advise.

PS#####I don't want to stop it, for it is helping ...........possibly might be due to my PMS now too.................just worRAB to help me through.

Thank you.
 
I had the same experience on Lex. It lasted about a month. I started taking mine at night and it worked better.
 
I've been on Lexapro for 5 yrs now and thank god for it!! It has really helped me but maybe this is the medicine for me. I started at 10mg and then a couple yrs into it was getting anxious so it got upped to 20mg...but then I was having some weird reaction to it where I would wake up in the middle of the night having problems swallowing like my tongue was swelling! Scared the crap out of me...so my Lexapro was then put down to 15mg...and I've been doing good!! I'm not outgoing as I would like to be...but I have panic attacks less frequently...(sometimes months go by without one)

Good luck!!!

(I have gained weight though but I really don't exercise so I'm hoping this summer to drop some pounRAB!)
 
Im on 10 mg. I take it at 7 every night. It has worked pretty well for me on my anxiety.
 
How about the weight, energy.........? It is that time of the month for me. So I want to eat everything...........LOL
 
Thank you, I am starting to exercise more...........just for my health.........LOL.

Thank you.
