John,
Thank you for your reply to what I wrote. I'm very glad to hear that you noticed some improvement as of earlier today, and I most certainly hope that the feelings of well being that you've been experiencing for what's probably still been less than a day now will continue for an extended period of time. I definitely think that there's something to be said about the value of giving medications enough time to exert their longer-term effects, assuming that the startup side effects are bearable enough to get through. I personally wouldn't go as far as to suggest that Lexapro probably works for everyone, as the clinical trials that have been done with the medication suggest that this isn't the case, but I do think that it's the case that some who might experience long-term benefits from a medication do sometimes discontinue the medication in question earlier than they probably should, thus leaving the question as to whether they might respond well to the medication in the long run unanswered. At any rate, it looks like "sticking it out" through what were probably the worst of the startup side effects that you experienced as part of your Lexapro trial is serving you well at this point in time, and I hope that it will be the case that your treatment regimen will continue to serve you well for at least some time.
