I'm trying to get as much info. on Effexor and Lexapro. I have tried Lexapro (5mg) for a couple of days, I remember not having any side effects except feeling panicky (it could have been in my head though) That scared me so I stopped. I've never tried Effexor. I'm thinking of trying one or the other.... I can't afford to take anything that will make me lose weight, cause I'm naturally thin and it's hard to keep weight on me. I would like to know what you've experienced good or bad. I just need some input ....PLEASE
