lexapro

Mel, I was just wondering how you are doing with the lexapro and if you have noticed anything yet? I am trying to build the courage to start taking it. My mom, who also suffers from anxiety, began taking it and we have all noticed a difference in her for the better so I was wondering how it was working for you. ~Isabella~

Well hiya Mel! Nice to meet you and welcome to the forums! As for the medication I haven't taken it but i have heard some great stuff about it too. And yeah waiting on the drinking is always a good idea in my opinion after starting new meds, just so your body adjusts first. Anyway, welcome again and keep us posted! -Diva

Mel, Our members will be along shortly to share their experiences. It may be wise to refrain from alcohol consumption until your body has adjusted to the medication. Danielle _____________________ The PC Support Team

Hi Mel, I am new here. I have never been on Lexapro, but know a couple of people who were or are still and they did great. No side effects for them. Good luck! I would wait on the drinks too, by the way.
