| Add Lexapro review I have experienced excessive sweating with this medication. This has been a disaster. I've been on various medications for the last ten years due to persistent, low-grade depression. Celexta gave me bruxism, Zoloft made me want to do nothing but sleep, and Cymbalta was great for me, but just stopped working after a couple of years. So my doc started me on this and it did nothing. Until I tried to stop taking it! Since then (and I've tapered off very slow ... Lexapro ruined my family's life. I would not recommend this drug to anyone! It created aggression, hostility, weight gain, alchoholism, and it made the person into a total zombie. Lexapro is EVIL. A friend of mine was taking Lexapro and highly recommened it. After fighting depression, I consulted my doctor and she prescribed 10mg to start. I felt it working immediately. 3 months later, she increased the dosage to 20mg and I am completely satisfied. I am not edgy, short tempered and I sleep like a baby. This drug saved my life! Lexapro helped my depression a few years back when both Wellbutrin and another did not work out well for me.Lexapro did help my depression but I felt it kind of brought me to a mellow happy medium. I wasn't back to being excited about everything and being full of life, but I could get through the normal day fine and was overall happy. It got my life back on track.

I have been taking every med for Depression & with out any luck.I've been taking Remeron 15 MG for the past week & I couldn't feel any better. Has changed my mom, she seems to be in lala land, without a care in the world. This bothers me because she is usually talkative and more alert. Since taking this drug she seems too not care about anything. I use this drug as a combo with Paxil to combat anxiety and depression. It works well and I love the appetite stimulant! It helps me rest and I am definitely satisfied. The drug Remeron itself works great. I noticed slight itchy torso with a 15 mg dose, when I was directed to take 30 mg day, I have major itching in my torso and then spread from there. I was told to just stop taking it cold turkey. | |||
