New to Lexapro

[Guest guest]

Hello all;

I saw a psychiatrist today and he placed me on Lexapro 10mg for

depression/anxiety (ie panic attacks). I am just wondering what time

is best to take it? Bedtime or morning? Any other tips/hints I should

know about?

Thanks...Jerri

I'm not gonna pretend to be unbiased. I LOVE lexapro! I did have the dry mouth

for a

few weeks, but it's seems gone now, I had none of the other side effects

however.

I use the same dose for the same problem for a few months now and it's been

amazing

at taking the edge off of stress. I hope your side effects go away soon,

I'd encourage you to look into a bedroom ionizer too, I started a thread or two

about em

recently and it has helped my sleep go to a level I've never experienced.

best of luck to you
