Oh my gosh, I was so excited when I saw this thread about Lexapro. I've just started taking it and I wasn't really sure what to expect. My doctor, who is absolutely wonderful, and I have tried several drugs before this one and we're hoping this one will be much more beneficial for me.
He told me that some people see results in the first two weeks and within at least 4 to 6 weeks I should see a difference. It's been two weeks now and already I can see subtle changes. I smile much more and am not grumpy or grouchy. But, what I'm enjoying is the fact that I'm laughing again.
Yes, I'm a bit tired and don't seem to have much energy but like you all have noted...my doctor said to please give it a period of time so that my body gets used to it. What I don't feel is the terrible headaches and upset stomach that I felt with the other types of medications I tried.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the one. I'll keep my fingers crossed for all of you, too.
Thank you for this thread...I'm so happy I found this site because my weight has become troublesome with the many medications I've tried. I need to do this for me and my family...I want to be healthy for all of us.
Have a most beautiful day, Everyone.
