I can relate to you-I was supposed to start Lexapro 2 days ago but I am researching other medications and solutions. I had hair loss from Celexa and I know that these drugs are very similiar. you are not alone-the nurse also told me that NONE of her patients experienced side effects on Lexapro-yea, right!!
I had only seen this social worker 2 times and she told me to take med.-she basically won't be helping me through therapy unless I take medication as well-I have had some bad experiences w/medication
Prozac-weight gain
zoloft-no help and made anxiety even worse
and then w/celexa and hair loss
For those out there w/minimal side effects, you are very lucky.
I just have been through 2 doctors, and then 2 social workers who really have not helped me unless they medicate me-even though one told me that I am not depressed. I have anxiety issues, but she refused to prescribe Ativan (she said it was addictive), even though I took it 2 yrs ago w/no problem.
Let me know how you are doing w/everything.
