Re: Okay, I'm not enjoying Lexapro so far.       09/02/04 11:34 AM Edit Reply Quote jeenerz Reged: 07/10/04 Posts: 212 Loc: Northwest Montana Hi Casey, My sister went on Lexapro a couple of months ago and she went thru about 2 weeks before the side effects went away. You've got to stick with it. You may experience feeling teary-eyed alot, you may have nightmares and you may feel like you just had 20 cups of coffee--NOT DECAF EITHER! You may be tired and nauseated, but I would encourge you to hang in there. I have a friend who is a PA and he just recently sat in on a Medical forum of GI's who are doing research on Lexapro and its positive affect on IBS. He said they are having great results with the Lexapro. And my sis did stop having the side effects about 2 weeks into it. So right now just keep telling yourself it won't always be like this and this is going to ultimately make you fell better--I think that's called positive thinking. :=) Just keep hanging in there, dear. Things may get worse before they get better, but wouldn't it be worth it if you ultimately get relief from the Lexapro? Sending you hugs and positive thoughts.
