My doc put me on Lexapro for my PTSD symptoms. Is there anything I should be mindful of or look for as I'm taking it? I've had a lot of bad experiences in the past with meds.

The first 5 days I felt completely wrecked and zoned out. After that, I had no lasting side effects.

It made me very dizzy and nauseated. Also, screwed up my sleep - insomnia if I took it at night, and drowsy if I took it in the mornings. Those things faded after about 2 weeks...but it never really did much for me.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
