don't know where you are in MD or if you're interested, but we've got a new support group going here in MD and i just posted the dates and locations for the next few meetings....
Support Group Boards
Ashley, i don't know if you've been over there, yet, but c'mon over even if you're not interested in going to a meeting. the trick is you've got to register separately over there, 'cause it's on a whole different server from this board.
anyway, good luck on the Lexapro!

Thanks for all your help regardign lexapro. I have had no noticable side effects as yet. I have been taking it for a week now.
The responses you guys gave to me makes me more confident in using this drug.

I just started taking it Sat morning. I feel like I've had 5 pots of coffee to drink....... kind of shaking a little too. My DR did warm me.... and suggested that I start it over the weekend. Good thing I have Monday too! It otherwise has not effected me.

I had a similar experience. The side effects were mild for me at first and now I don't have any. I had a bit of insomnia, dry mouth, excitability, lightheadedness--I felt pretty on edge the first week, I have to admit. That coulda been depresssion though! Overall, I'm happy with it though.

yes, escitalopram is correct and you can get it in Europe. I started taking it in Austria and had a hard time getting here, so go figure!

Hi Ashley,
I have been taking Lexapro for about a year now. It was prescribed just as an antidepressant- not for IBS. But I saw all the bad reactions to it here and I wasnted to say it was a life saver for me. I did do well with other anti depressants- and this was great for me. No side effects that I am aware of anyway- I may be evil- but I always was-  .

Just wondering, why do anti-depressants work for IBS? Is there a link between depression and IBS?
