I opened the info booklet that came with Lexapro and the "possible" side effects section took up most of the text. That in itself is warning I should have paid more attention to. I'm going to self medicate with intense exercise 5 days a week for a few months and see what happens, pills that make you floppy and turn you into a useless zombie are not even a last resort for me anymore, completely pointless.

I was reading a poisitive forum on Lexapro last night has I have upped to 20mg , this forum was not the usual negative side you read on most forums it was a positive forum on Lexapro. First not 1 person took less than 20mg some 40mg I no the leaflet says max 20mg but all meds have a paper limit and then a real limit. Most said it had saved there lives or gave them back there lifes. Before you post how you 5mg near killed you , I have read all this before this is the other side,s view, It put my mind at ease obout my raise to 20mg. These people had suffered without meds for years and took the plunge , they we not on any med combo,s just Lexapro so they had no interactions .
