"i&#039;ve been on lexapro 10mg for 5 years now and it makes me &quot;me&quot; again.  it&#039;s wonderful! i&#039;ve never had a side effect.  i&#039;ve also lost 90 pounds!  i was eating because of the stress and depression and when that started to go away so did the overeating! i started to feel a lot better.  it took about 4-5 weeks for it to kick in and i had to chart my progress through my doctor but i am truly thankful.
