Grace, That is SO wonderful about the Lexapro! I have heard so many good things about it, my son's basketball coach is on it and swears by it. I tried it a year ago after I came off the Paxil, had some side effects then my nurse put me on Zoloft, I just wonder if the side effects I thought were from Lexapro were really in fact withdrawal from Paxil, I see my nurse Tuesday, I am going to plead with her to put me back on Paxil, I would rather gain some weight than feel like this, Zoloft is not working for me you are right. DO you also take a benzo? I was not sure. Again I am so pleased the Lexapro is working so great, I love to hear those things when people are doing better! Debbie.
