I guess I am lucky in that the side effects I had when I started Lexapro were mainly "mental". I felt like I was "deeper in myself" or "I had more layers" as I told the doctor and he said those were very common. I must admit it was kind of a neat feeling. It went away though. The only side effect I am left with after taking the medicine for about 5 months is decreased sexual desire (common) and it is harder to reach orgasm (common). To me though, I would rather have these things wrong then to have the anxiety.

Anyone who has had anxiety knows what I am talking about!
