I'm hoping that my friends out there can tell me if Lexapro or generic escitalopram has worked well for anyone. Any first-hand experience is so welcomed. Thank you🌞

I have been on lexapro for years and it has definitely helped me get through things.

I have been on escitalopram for about a week. I am on 10mg . So far it has helped me feel a lot better, considering gow I was. I still notice some irritability , fogginess, and gas. My dr told me to start taking it at night then, so i started that today. I should give it a few more weeks to feel the full benefits. Fingers crossed. Good luck

I've tried a few different ones ,Ive found escalatopram to be the best so far for me ,(I get the generic brand). No side effects as I did with other anti depressants. Hope it's good for you too !🤗
