So YAY! I convinced my pdoc that I needed different meds after going cold turkey (his advice) off of 20mg of Lexapro.

So I'm starting at 5mg (for a few days, up to 10mg until I see him in 2 weeks) ... I talked to my pharmacist, read the stuff that DocJohn has here, and read people's recommendations and ratings...

But how do you find the drug to be? He said it was also a sedative so I could take it and might sleep better (sooner) ...

Typical side effects or positive/negative things about the drug?
