Day 1 on Lexapro

5 Replies

I took the pill at 10pm and went to sleep shortly after. I woke up a hour later only because my son decided to sleep in my bed and his movements scared me lol. I’ve noticed that I’m easily started so far, soft runny stool, and the left side of my head feels a little like pressure but goes away. But I slept really good.

Same it gives me runny stool! I’m glad you were able to sleep!

I’m glad you’ve decided to take it and that you slept well. Just take it one day at a time. Sleeping well is a good sign!

Hi there😊 I’ve been on Lexapro now for a year 20 mg once in the morning works best for me! Told my doctor I was tired during the day so she said oh take the Lexapro at night with the sleep medicine.. guess what? it kept me awake all night for four days straight so I went back to Lexapro in the morning that is when they recommend taking it…cheers😸 i’m on the same road as far as getting meds correct and feeling good!! Take care 🌞
