User Reviews for Lexapro oral

It made me really sick to my stomach, made me sleep all the time, I had muscle cramps, a worse period and it actually worsened my depression. I think I'm just a quirk though because most people I know where just fine on it.

Helped me with my depression but would make me very sick to my stomache and tired a lot.

Finally I feel good again, no more nervousness, and I have more energy and sleep better.

Started taking Lexapro after my quadruple heart bypass operation. Doctors said I might go into Depression after that operation. I feel great now I'm on Lexapro.

at first it seem to help but ny doctor increased the dosage now I have trouble sleeping and weird sensations in my legs when I asleep that wakes me up

The drug worked for the anxiety and greatly assisted with sleep/relaxation. However, I experienced severy sexual sideffects.

I have been the happiest for quite a while on this medication. My only concern is that I am trying to get pregnant and fear I may have to stop it.

I was on 10 mg/day for depression. The drug helped with my depression but I felt that I could not always think straight. I experienced weight gain, a decreased sex drive, and major hot flashes on this medication. I decided to discontinue it and have been experiencing some withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness throughout the day, increased agitation, and others. Overall, I am glad to be off of the drug. I had mild depression and now with some lifestyle changes, I feel I can manage without the medication. For me, the side effects were not worth it.Read More Read Less

Too many side effects, didn't treat my symptoms well, caused me to be unable to acheive and orgasm.

It's difficult to go on like most of the others I've tried. Feel bad for a few days when starting out.

I suffer from moderate to severe OCD. Lexapro (and Celexa) has been the drug that has worked best for me. I've taken almost every SSRI and Lexapro has the fewest side effects and is most effective. It's not perfect... but, I have cognative-behavioral therapy to help there!

I was going through a divorce and was having anxiety issues and also severe depression. Within 5 weeks I saw a difference in myself and have been exetremely pleased with results of this medication. I have been on it for 9 months and can honestly say it has been the best thing to happen to me ever. I use to cry all the time even at commercials and now I have better demeanor and even have a better outlook on life. I would definitely recommend this drug for helping with anxiety and depression.

The drug worked very well for my depression and anxiety but I gained a lot of weight(40 lbs in 8 weeks) and I had no sex drive

Had depression for over 4 years before I began treatment on Lexapro 10Mg within a month I started seeing results. Go back to frequent check ups with my Dr to monitor the medication and side effects.

I have been taking Lexapro since I was 18. It has helped a lot with my depression and my anxiety. I can certainly tell if I forget to take it. I do not like being so dependent on the drug though. If I dont take it every day, I have horrible side effects. I get dizzy, extremely irritable, and nausiated. I haven't experienced any weight change since I've been taking the drug, I just have horrible hot flashes and dry mouth. Overall, the medication has helped my anxiety and although the side effects suck, I can't imagine not taking LexaproRead More Read Less

the anxiety still comes and goes...but atleast its not as bad as it was. i've gained 10 pounds on it...thats depressing in itself.. maybe Lexapro is not for everyone atleast not for me.

I would not take this medicine again. It worked pretty well for my anxiety and depression, but there were too many negative side effects. I lost interest in sex, gained weight, and got frequent headaches. I had to wean off of it when I found out I was pregnant and weaning caused me nausea, headaches, tiredness, dizziness, depression, and mood swings. Also, when I started the medicine I did not feel like myself for the first few weeks. I felt drugged up and out of it.
