i hated lexapro. i was on 20 mg. not only was my and my bf (also taking) sex drives gone it didnt seem to help and i gained weight (20lbs). i am on a combo of 150mg of wellbutrin(which i love. gives me a feel good feeling and energy) and 25mg of paxil at night(it makes me a little sleepy so i take it at night and i sleep wonderfully and wake up refreshed. talk to ur dr. wellbutrin has been overlooked for its benefits. it has a positive side effect of safe weight loss. u have a decreased appetite and more energy so u resultantly burn more calories

I'm on 400 mg. of wellbutrin, and i still felt crappy so the doctor added 20 mg of Lexapro and it's awesome. It helps a lot

I've been taking Lexapro for almost a year. When I take it the way I'm supposed to it really works great. I have missed a few doses and when I do to be honest it's like I can't control my emotions. I'll get mad (really mad) and upset. I'll cry and an hour later I don't know why. But when I'm taking Lexapro I have no worries. I'm more carefree and easier to get along w/. My Dr. prescribed it to me because I tend to over react. Like making a mountain out of a mole hill. Lexapro has really helped. People can tell when I haven't taken it in a few days. Actually I started out w/ 10mg but I'm now on 20mg. I became immune to 10 mg really quickly. I honestly think that I may have to take some form of medication the rest of my life though, and that can be a little scary. But then again if it can make my hectic life a little easier to deal w/ then I'm all for it. Good luck w/ Lexapro, hope it helps!
