"i am a mom to two sweet, high energy toddlers that challenge me every minute of the day. i did start feeling on the edge and extremely stressed with my older son. now i have been on lexapro for almost two months and so far i like it- feel more patient and calmer, but not a zombie. i was very scared to gain more weight on top of my remaining pregnancy weight, but actually i started losing weight since my appetite decreased. i hope it continues. i am on 10mg. the side effect- super low libido and possibly feeling a bit more tired. if that&#039;s all i am going to experience, i will stick to it for for another 5-6 months. overall it is way better than celexa or zoloft for me. good luck!"
