I just got prescribed lexapro (5 milligrams), and I was wondering what some effects are that it's had on people. I've looked up the side-effects and everything, so what I'm actually looking for is personal experience. Actually, any comments would be great, even if they're only kind of related.
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam, I have been on a whole slew of psych meds but not Lexapro. All of them had some common side effects like: dizziness (that usually goes away), upset stomach, problems sleeping, and, of course, sexual issues. Most of my side effects resovle themselves after I get use to the med. The only side effect that does not go away for me is the sexual problems. I wish I could be more useful.........D.
