I was ok at first, 10mg daily.
After a month I needed to go to 20mg daily.
I was having some shakes, especially in my legs. I also had a very low libido and didn't have an orgasm when I ejaculated.
Before I could see if 20mg was enough, a quack psychiatrist raised it to 40mg. That's when the fun began.
I fired him and before I could find another psychiatrist I had to go to the ER because I was shaking so bad.
Soon after I was taken off Lexapro and put on Pexeva.Health Question & Answer

My mother and my husband both took Lexapro for a very short time. It made them 'droopy'; just tired and draggy. I don't think either of them gave it a fair try.
