You will definitely get the side effects of dry mouth, that was the first side effect I got! And being hungry and not having an appetite is a new thing for me. And for the drowsy part, if it makes you drowsy take it at night before bed! Mine kept me up all night so I have to take it in the morning. I have a combination of pills so one might effect the other differently.

i am SO grateful to lexapro. i went from not being able to even say "hi", to making friends and actually having fun! it decreased my social anxiety by a ton.

I had amazing results with lexapro, but make sure you always have access to water and a bathroom

Only antidepressant I've been able to O on, def grateful for that :D

I’ve been taking lexapro and as someone with an extremely sensitive system I can say that I love it. I’ve had little to no problems since taking it and while it’s taken a bit of time to take effect, I think I’m starting to feel a difference.

i took lexapro for awhile and i didnt experience any negative effects! but i also didnt have any postive effects either. i felt generally the same, maybe just a little bit less anxious.

i haven’t found it to be much help but meds work different for everyone! i went up to a higher dose and it made it nearly impossible to focus on anything. but again, it works differently for everyone. i hope it goes well!

I am on lexapro and it has done wonders not only in the anxiety but also depressive state. It helps get rid of the feeling of extreme weight and unwillingness to do anything

I couldn’t sleep on it, so I had to switch.

I love lexapro. After sertraline, Prozac, fluoxetine, quilivant, etc lexapro is my dream come true. It makes me really drowsy so I take it at night with my melatonin. And for the first 5-6 months it really crushed my sex-drive…but that came back as I got more used to my dosage. Currently on 20mg, very happy :) It has helped with my GAD, and depression.

Funny enough I feel like it don’t do anything for me! Idk why, I didn’t get neither positive or negative side effects. I stayed the same for some reason it was weird

It gave me gory nightmares I couldn’t stay on it. Hoping you have a better experience!

Iam on lexapro 👍

lexapro works great for me. it disrupted my sleep schedule for the first couple weeks when i started taking it, but aside from that, it’s been really helpful

I was on Lexapro it helped yes but my sex drive was gone and all it did was make me sit on the couch and do nothing

i absolutely hate lexapro. it sent me to the hospital although everyone’s different & it might work great for you

Dry mouth is a necessary evil in my case. I have treatment resistant depression unless I'm hypomanic or manic...it's literally the only antidepressant I've been able to keep in rotation since I was 10. Or 21 years ago.

For me it was great. I tried it after prozac and Paxil. It’s been the best so far and this is after having years of constant suicidal thoughts. I do take in now in combination with abilify but I have minimal side effects and the positives are definitely worth it for me.

I genuinely feel it has helped me deal with things a lot better! It wasn’t like a noticeable 360. More like as time went on I would think “oh I’m not spiraling like I used to”. So that’s great imo.
