"i have had some difficulty with anxiety and depression. i started taking zoloft in january after a family crisis triggered my anxiety. i was on zoloft for 8 months, but it stopped working and was making my jaw tense and causing me to grind my teeth.  my doctor switched me to lexapro, and i started at 5mg.  i stayed on the 5 mg until my follow-up appointment. the 5 mg starter dosage was not very effective for me. this is my 3rd day on 10 mg of lexapro. i feel like my old self. i don&#039;t shovel food into my face or feel bloated like i did with the zoloft. i have my old sense of humor back. so far, i have not experienced any sexual side effects, but i noticed that lexapro is causing a small amount of facial acne. thumps up!"
