Hi All-
I'm off the venaflaxine (effexor) but Dr put me on Lezapro. I feel like a new person being off effexor. I'd like to not take anything but big life change and fee I need something. Having that been said, is anyone on Lexapro and if so how do you like or dislike it? I missed a day here and there intentionally to see how my body would react if I had to miss a dose or two and did fine, felt fine. But, I do realize it is a systemic drug so missing a day may not make that much difference. Thank to everyone for all the support, I hope I can be of some help to those wanting/trying to get off Effexor. I'm so very glad I did it! I don't ever want to take another drug like that one again.

I'm glad you aren't experiencing the fatigue and lack of appetite that I am. My dr. weaned me off of the Effexor and on to Lexapro but my fatigue is debilitating. Nausea is one of the common side effects of the Lexapro and lucky me, I have it I have lost a considerable amount of weight but losing 35 in 3 months is too fast. I'm so glad you are having success with the Lexapro....
