Advice about Lexapro?

Question

Has anyone taken lexapro? What did you think about it? How long does it take to work? I suffer from anxiety ive been on it for a week and havnt seen any change as yet.

Answer 1

lexapro is a great med for anxiety and depression.I have been taking it for 4-5 yrs and I love it .I use to take prozac but lexapro works better and its a cleaner drug for your systems.Give it a little longer and you will see a difference

Answer 2

I've been taking it for a month and a half now and it absolutely works wonders for me. I wouldn't change it for the world - not really any noticeable side effects either. And it took about two weeks before I noticed anything.

Answer 3

I take it and I started because I was locked up against my will in a mental hospital and the doctor told me if I didn't play ball he would baker act me and have me committed to the state mental hospital. It is like tic tacs. Doesn't do anything, good or bad. I could go on or off at any moment and it wouldn't make any difference.

Answer 4

I take Wellbutrin SR (150 mg) in the morning, and Lexapro (10 mg) in the evening, for depression and anxiety.  I've been taking it for over a year and a half - and it works great for me.



It does take Lexapro (and all SSRI's) a few weeks to reach their full effectiveness - so hang in there.  As they say, "The best is yet to come!"



The Best of Luck to you :-)
