"i&#039;ve been taking the 10mg dose of lexapro for 3 weeks. i&#039;m actually quite impressed with the improvement i&#039;ve seen so far, as i&#039;ve heard you often need a solid 6 weeks to feel the effects. i no longer have this sense of dread when i wake up in the morning. i&#039;m not &quot;triggered&quot; as easily either. something so simple like dropping a pencil would result in depressive and suicidal thoughts for hours. now i can brush most things off without an issue. fatigue, very restless legs and vomiting were rough the first 2 weeks but have subsided now. no problems with weight gain, insomnia or nightmares/hallucinations. i still have some lingering anxiety and i&#039;m hoping i&#039;ll get even more of a boost in my mood in the weeks to come, but so far so good."
