Hello. I have GAD, in social situations, it is bad but sometimes I have no problems at all. Doctor prescribed me Lexapro. I am not sure what can I expect. I do not know if I should take Lexapro. Would you recommend it? I do not want to be dependent on a drug to be "normal" forever.
Well, I have taken Lexapro twice and I am already feeling adverse side effects. The first night I already had dry mouth and nausea. After second, I feel that I am tired all the time and continuously feel that I needed more sleep. I will discus with my doctor about changing the meds. My advice? Think twice!
Lexapro DOES work if taken properly. If you are feeling sick you should lower the dosage. But please be aware the SEVERE hair loss IS a side effect of the drug.
