Thank Stopper....I've not heard about ativan. I'll keep it in mind, though, should this not work.

I took my second dose of Lexapro last night. Did not experience any nausea or dizziness! Just a little shakey this morning and to complicate things...I've come down with a cold. Sore throat, sneezing, runny nose...and tired.  The sore throat started late yesterday afternoon. I was hoping it was just a dry throat, but nope....it's a cold. When it rains, it pours!

I think the Lexapro is helping a bit. I don't want to get my hopes up too early, though as it's only been a few days. Today I'm home sick from work with a horrible head cold...so that's kind of miserable...but so far I haven't experienced any horrible side effects with the Lexapro. Keeping my fingers crossed that this works....and keeping Kleenex close by today...constantly blowing my nose. I honestly don't know how I could have anything more to blow out! Ha!

Well...it's day 6 and I think it's helping a little bit so far. Kind of hard to tell, though, because I'm also fighting a horrible head cold yesterday and today. My tummy is a little upset today but, I think it has more to do with my cold and the medicine I've taken for stuffy nose and headaches. Also, I'm a bit nervous today because I don't feel well and we have a contractor coming over to do some work on the house. So I don't have the place to myself to just lounge around and get over my cold. There will be saws and tools making noise..so won't get much napping in either to get over my cold. Plus, I don't have any more sick leave and I had to take yesterday and today off work. Frustrating.

Hi Emmasmom....It's still early for me, but I do feel it has helped some. Don't want to get my hopes up too soon, though. I am very pleased that I don't have the shakeyness and such that I have with other meds like this one. I'm on a very low dose to start...so am hoping for the best. I am IBS-D and one of the side effects is C.....so like the nurse said....that could be a plus for me. Haven't experienced it yet, though...but the D has eased some. Good luck to you! It might be worth a try.

Well, it's been a week now and still doing fairly well. I can't notice a tremendous improvement yet, but I can notice slight improvement. I'm getting over a nasty head cold, so that doesn't help either. But for the most part things are going OK. No nasty side effects.
