I do not take Lexapro, but a friend of mine does. She started on 5mg and then to 10 mg. The first few weeks were a little rocky for her...she felt her panic a little more than usual...when she went up to the 10mg she felt much better and has been feeling pretty normal for the last few weeks. Give it a few weeks to work...best to you.

That was the first anti-depressant I took and I loved it. My husband actually said I looked younger. It was incredible. I couldn't stay on it because there was no generic and I couldn't afford it, so I eventually switched to a natural method. But I would definately recommend that one.
