That is fascinating how different people react so differently to a med. My husband was on lexapro, & gave it enough time according to my psychiatrist (he is seeing my psychiatrist) to have the side effects go away. He was like being in another world. While at my psychologist, he sat there in a daze, & when we were talking, he would just say something that had nothing to do with anything being said. When I would talk to him around the house, he would stare at me with a blank look of his face as if he wasn't really there. I pointed out how he was acting to him & my psychiatrist. Needless to say, it was stopped soon after that because there was no way I could put up with that. He is like that normally, so who needs a drug to make it worse?
