Hello. This was a while ago, but when I first started Lexapro, my mind felt blank all the time. It took effort to think, which was weird for me. This feeling was neutral for me. Like I liked it that if got rid of me thinking anxious thoughts, but I couldn't think much without trying. It was weirdest, oddest feeling I have ever experienced. I don't know what else to describe it as blank, but that's what it was. Has anyone else experienced this feeling? This stopped a while ago, I wonder if it means the effect went down. Anyways, not important, mainly wondering if anyone else felt this. Thanks for your response
 . Social anxiety disorder, GAD, OCD, and panic attacks Lexapro, 10 mg

I am bipolar and took Lexapro for quite a while. The reason my psychiatrist prescribed it to me was for depression. The problem I had with it was when I was no longer in the depressive cycle it made me extremely manic. I no longer take it.

I'm not on Lexapro, but I've had this feeling. It mostly happens when I'm depressed. I just lose all focus on everything. If it's happening more often than not, well I'm talking to my pdoc. Some adjustments need to be made.

Yes, I had a blank mind when I first started taking it. I was a zombie for 5 days. All I could do was stare into space an d sleep. For me, it was only a temporary side effect.

Same with me, but just wondering if others experienced it. I'm fine now. I wasn't a zombie, I just felt blank and empty. I had emotions still. No thoughts.
