[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 61341"] I've been on lexapro for almost 3 years now (started at 10mg, now at 20 mg). I've trialled many other anti-depressants and either couldn't tolerate them or they didn't work for me. I'm very sensitive to medications and I tolerate lexapro fine. I started noticing a difference within 5 days, although it was 2-3 weeks before I got the full effects. The first couple of weeks I did wake up at night, but that went away. However, if I miss more than one dose I get a very odd feeling in my head. It's very hard to explain. It's definitely in the frontal lobe and I feel very spacy, almost like vertigo. I explain it by saying that I feel "frontal". It's odd and a bit disconcerting and I probably shouldn't drive when it's happening, but I recognize it immediately and within 2 hours of taking the lexapro it goes away. I do know that I will not be able to just stop the lexapro if I should ever choose to quit taking it; I will have to wean off it. Though, I can't imagine ever wanting to discontinue lexapro. It's changed my life. [/QUOTE]
