"i had been feeling some general depression and anxiety for 6-8 months. nothing specific, just everything seemed to pile up. i felt like i couldn&#039;t get the negative thoughts out of my head. dr prescribed 10mg lexapro, i got the generic escitalopram. day 1, i felt like the anxiety was dissipating, but i did have bad nausea and loss of appetite for 12 days. on the 12th day, i woke up, anxiety is gone, nausea is gone, and i am hungry for the first time in a while. i am hopeful that this isn&#039;t just a &#039;good day&#039;, but that the side effects are finally gone. first 12 days were rough. stick with the meds, always keep something in your stomach, even if it&#039;s just a cracker, and good luck! for me, plain apple sauce, canada dry ginger ale were helpful."
