I'm on day 3 of Lexapro 5mg for 5 days and then up to 10 mg. I have a bad headache, no appetite, and slept until 1pm today. I'm hopeful this new drug will bring me out of my anxiety/depression. I also take Lamictal. I've tried many other drugs...Seroquel, Saphris, Abilify, and couldn't function with horrible side effects. I'd like to hear anyone's experiences on Lexapro please. I am BP2 diagnosed.
