"i started lexapro about two weeks ago. currently, i am happy to say the benefits have out weighed the negative side effects. my side effects have been: nausea, ear ringing, headaches, sleep problems, dry mouth, and sore teeth.  however, my energy has increased and i am in much better shape than i was two weeks ago.  two weeks ago i would not leave my house, i did not go to work or go out socially.  i would randomly get up set and i was not motivated to do anything.  i am slowly going out more and becoming more the old me."
