My father uses Lexapro and he says it helps him out a lot. I have been told the medicine needs a good month or 2 of taking it regularly to change your chemistry and work properly. Before just kicking it I would talk with your doctor and see what they recommend.

Hello. I am using Lexapro for anxiety, but I believe I may have mild depression. It took me about 4-5 months to kick in. It took a lot longer than I thought it would. I never had time to experience positive effects with Zoloft due to side effects, but Lexapro has done a lot for my social anxiety. There are barely any side effects if any. I don't feel as depressed this winter, well at least not yet. Hopefully it will kick in soon for you.

First time I was prescribed it, this medication worked like a champ. It "cured" depression for me in a miraculous manner. Within 6 months, I went from the bottom of the heap to the top of the mountains. I gained a bit of weight but it was well worth it. The second time around, it didn't work so well, but my depression came back probably because I came off of the medication too early. Cheers.

I'm on cipralex 20mg for 2 months now. I still have negative thoughts, don't go outside unless for work, stomach pain and brain flashes. I guess you could say that it is not currently working lol. I wish I could gain 20 lbs like people are saying but I'm not overly hungry.
