I've been on 10mg once a day for several months. Worked very well for me and I've had almost no side effects.

Only side effect that I've noticed is increase in sweating. I'm a drown cat in exercise class. But not sure if the side effect is from the Lexapro or the Elavil I take for nerve pain. Or a combo of the two. On a number of other meds for another illness.
