Advice & Tips
I was not sure about taking this medication. My doctor started me on 5mg theen ,10, 20, now 30mg. External factors have made it difficult for me during the month of march.I still feel anxious. I have experienced soreness in my left shoulder and knees. My hands sometimes shake. Since I have been off work, I seem to want to avoid people and conversation, sleep at the wierdest time of day and get very edgy if I don't manage to get some sleep. I don't see any results yet and can not wait to be the person and mother I used to be! I had gone to the hospital due to my joint pains but was told it is due to my anxiety and was not given anything to aliviate the pain. Did some physiotherapy ...seems to be helping.

Advice & Tips
Lexapro has been extremely benefitial to me, not only in treating depression, but also treating chronic anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive behavior. HOWEVER, the side effects have been bothersome. I've gained a signifigant amount of weight and lost ALL LIBIDO.
