"so today is my first day taking lexapro, my psychiatrist instructed me to take half of a 10mg daily.  i took the dose today at 4 pm and already i feel different.  i bursted into laughter and caught myself laughing at the silliest thing, but i feel so much better.  i felt light-headed for the first 15 minutes, now i feel okay. i just hope this medicine helps me like it has helped others. i can&#039;t say i recommend it yet because its my first day. however i do see a very slight difference in myself. i rated a 7 because anything that makes me laugh instantly more than likely is a pretty good medicine."
