Ok, so as I've whined about already , I just started Lexapro a few days ago, and I've been having problems with the side effects. Today, I had really, REALLY bad D. I know it's a side effect of the Lexapro - I haven't had D in a month and a half, and I haven't changed my diet at all.

The thing is, the rest of the day, I haven't had any of the other side effects I was having with the Lexapro - the dizziness, tiredness, double vision, nausea, etc. So now of course, I'm wondering if the dose I took today went right through me - I was in the bathroom literally about 10 minutes after I took the pill.

Do I have reason to be concerned? I doubt I'll be able to get in touch with my doctor before Tuesday, so I thought I'd see what you guys thought before I went through the hassle (it IS a hassle, trust me) of tracking her down. I'm not so much worried about the D itself, although it's definitely unpleasant, I'm more worried about the effectiveness of the Lexapro (is it even staying in my system?) if the D keeps up.

Thanks in advance, guys!
