I personally have never used it. I have heard good things about it though and several people I know are on it. All of them started on a lower dose, worked thru some minor side affects and then worked their way up. They love it.
I did want to go on it myself, supposedly many people have lost weight on it, but my doc said no and put me back on Prozac.

Good Luck to ya.... Lexapro ?.

The main thing I don't like about it so far, is the cost since there is not
a generic, after insurance it cost $55, without its $107 for 30,
10 mil pills, so if the dose is increased over time i quess it would cost even more.

Wow!!!
I had no idea it was that much. Yeah, I would say that is pretty crazy. Can you afford that cost??? Lexapro ?
If so, that's cool. But if not, you may want to try something else.

ya , I can afford it but, it still seems high....there really isn't anything
else as good from what I have read, some say Celexa is the same almost but, it is not, its kinda like a box of left and right hand gloves, though they are almost the same your hands(brain) can tell the difference, from what I have read
