So I stopped taking latuda a week ago and am slowly starting to feel better (at least the Akathisia has subsided, anyone who has experienced Akathisia my heart goes out to you. Unreal). My lexapro at 10mg was upped to 20mg so will I have side effects and how long till i feel a difference (I started Sunday night). Thanks to all who answers!

Since lexapro is just an SSRI, and 20 mg is pretty much standard maintenance level, I wouldn't expect many side effects.
Most SSRI's give me headaches, except for Prozac. Over the years I've also tried paxil, celexa, and lexapro. They've all stopped my panic attacks within a week, but never touched my mood swings or depression. Take care.

Everyone is different, but Lexapro has saved my life. Whenever I feel the depression coming on, I start taking it (with my Lamictal). It is the only drug that keeps me hanging on until the depression passes (usually 6 weeks to two months).
The only side affect I have is night sweats. I wake up dripping wet. It's not fun, but as soon as they begin I know the drug is fully in my system. Again, everyone is different and side effects vary, but I really hope it helps you.
