Hi there.

I am on Lexepro also known as cipralex. I have been on it for a very long time, just upped my dose. Works well for me. I did not have any side effects that I can remember but every person is different.

Abilify I was put on about 4 days ago and did not agree with me, I have been changed back to fluanxol that I was on some time ago. Taking my first dose of fluanxol in the morning and scared but must do it.

Your doctor seems to know what he/she is doing with the lexepro, its very good.
