"i used this page for support when i first started out on lexapro so i thought i&#039;d give back. i was prescribed lexapro 10mg for dysthymia (mild chronic depression) and anxiety. the first few weeks were accompanied by a persistent mild headache and some nausea. i was much more tired - slept 8-hour nights plus an afternoon nap. 10 days into my prescription i was at the beach and i noticed some people&#039;s swimsuits appeared to have brighter colours. the world slowly began to appear more vivid visually and to have more &quot;depth&quot;. at some point rumination stopped almost completely. two months in, the world seems much more inviting and much less harsh than it used to. 
this drug works for me."
