Sorry Kristen, I must have missed your previous post. What reservations are you having about Lexapro? I'm currently on it and it seems to really be helping...

Hi wildflower..Thanks for your response...
Well Have read all kinds of things on her (good & bad) about Lexapro and am having so much anxiety about rather or not to start taking it or not...how long have you been taking it? What mgs are you on and started on?
I dont know why I get so scared to start something new...Guess I just dont want to loose what relief I do get from the Zoloft and take a chance of going way down hill again...but Im also trying to look at it as a chance at major improvements...Its a tug of war within myself...Take care & wishing you happiness!!!Kristen L

You sound just like me when I found this board. I was so afraid of having the side effects that were discussed in the board that I stared at the bottle for a while before taking my first dose. Yes, I did have SEs but they went away and I actually felt better in 3 weeks. I started on 10 and I'm starting 20 later this week. I've been on it about 8 weeks now.
It all depends on the person. I know many people who had SEs from Zoloft. For me I tried two others before Lex with no luck. There are others on this board who have gone through every drug out there.
Think of it this way, what if Lex is your magic potion for wellness and you're missing out on it? I say give it a try and keep us posted on your progress. Remember, you can always go back to your old med if this one doesn't work.
Good luck!
