I had a short episode of mania after I took lexapro for the first time. It scared me a lot when it happened but I’ve heard it’s a common side effect.

ive been on lexapro for four years and it’s worked WONDERS. as others are saying, withdrawals are horrible. try not to miss more two or more days (in a row) and you should be okay. good luck :)

Lexapro made me hungry all the time. I gained so much weight on that med. It doesn't happen to everyone though

lexapro withdrawals are some of the worst i've ever had with any antidepressant. they're known for that. so make sure to get your refills on time (i never did 😩) it works extremely well for a lot of people though, for some, it's a miracle drug. wishing u the best of luck 💛💛
