Escitalopram (Lexapro) for Anxiety

@njed How long did it take for you to adapt and get past the side effects?
Thank-you so much!

@cooper1990
Lexapro is a life changer for the good...10 must for 5 years now and only wonderful!!!!!

@cooper1990 I would say about 10 days, considering what I was going through due to her sudden death, I'd say that I likely experienced a little tiredness for about 10 to 14 days.

Thank-you for your response. So sorry for your loss. Hope you are doing ok.

@gzzer Thanks appreciate your quick reply,!

I just started Escitalopram last week and am wondering when the side effects wear off. Currently I feel like I'm in a fog, have a low grade headache and am nauseous. Plus my sleep is not great. I'm still anxious. I know that it takes time for the anxiousness to get better, but wondering when the side effects go away.

I’m probably not the best person for you when it comes to these medications but I do know that it can take some people up to 4-6 weeks to level out and start feeling the good benefits from it. My youngest son went on this medication years ago and it helped him a lot with anxiety and depression, in fact he still takes them.

@frouke thank you. I really appreciate the response.
Most of my reactions are in the morning so I’m feeling better now.
