I have been prescribed 10g Lexapro as of today. (Half a pill) Does anyone have any experience with this drug?

I’m taking Lexapro and it works for me. You may want to start lower and work up, it’s a powerful drug

What were your side effects? I know people are different and stuff but just curios. Thank you for being kind enough to share too.

Starting up it made me tired and dizzy for about a week, that slowly started to improve. My sleep improved. Good luck with it, I hope it works for you

I'm taking 10 mg of lexapro. That seems to be the standard dose. It worked good for me two years ago but I have developed a tolerance to it like I usually do for these meds. The only side effect that it has for me is that it makes me thirstier which might not be a bad thing considering I need to drink more water anyway. I had teeth clenching for about two weeks but it went away.
