I'm on Lexapro too (10mg). It's working better for me than anything else has. I'm getting the sleeplessness too, so my doc has me taking Clonazepam before bed. Other than that, it's great. The first couple of weeks -- stomach stuff -- were unpleasant, but all the physical side effects got better. I'm so glad I found something that works well for me.
I haven't cried while I've been on it, but I hardly ever cry when I'm unmedicated, so it's not unusual.
