LEXAPRO

I have finally stopped breastfeeding my 2.5 yr old so with that I was able to change my anxiety/depression medicine.

Zoloft 100mg to Lexapro 10mg.

If you are taking/taken LEXAPRO what side effects have you experienced?

Looking for good & bad details so I can have more knowledge on this medication.

ZOLOFT- did help with my depression & a tiny bit with my anxiety but I also put LBS on. (Could have also been from BF/eating like crazy) but also made it near impossible to lose weight. It also made me “lazy” I required a nap every day, and I would have to force myself out of bed most days just because of low energy. Most days I’d get out of bed, have breakfast and immediately feel like I could pass out from exhaustion.

LEXAPRO- I’ve taken now for 2 weeks and I feel like a whole new person. (I’ve also combined with buspar) but I have energy (also again could be bc I’ve stopped BFING) along with that my appetite has decreased significantly -thank god- & I look forward to my days. Even waking up earlier than usual to start my day. As a whole I’m much happier. I go back in 4 weeks for a check up and to see how my mood has improved since it does take a bit of time to fully kick in.

So if you have any experience with Lexapro please fill me in! Also the good & bad you experienced with Zoloft!

Thank you!
