Hi! The first weeks on Lexapro can be very tough! Increased anxiety, insomnia, headache, nausea and flu-like symptoms are just some of the many side effects. It usually takes from 4-8 weeks before you feel the full effect of the medication. Hang in there, it will get better!
good luck.

I had a rough start on Lexapro also. The first few days I had the dream-like feeling and felt irritable. It gradually went away and the only side effect I have now is the fatigue. The medication has helped me a lot so far.
Good Luck!

The first few weeks are hard. Lots of foggy headedness, dizziness, anxiety - but it does pass. You just need to adjust! Stick with it for at least 8 weeks and you will see a big difference!
