Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Hi there, I can't really speak about the 'energy' thing. I started on Lexapro about 6 weeks ago. I started at 10mg and my doctor just increased it to 20mg. It's so hard to tell what are the symptoms of depression and what could be side effects of the meds--just tough sometimes to differentiate. I was wondering what time you take the Lexapro? Maybe if you're not already it might help you to take it close to bedtime. Another thing, try not to place too much emphasis on weight gain. The most important thing is to start feeling better mentally. Also, ((and I'm preaching to myself here)) exercise is SO very important and that would help with the weight issue also. Look up exercise in treating depression and there are GOBS of information about the connection. Good luck to you 'heavenshaking'. Try to take things one day at a time and give the meds a while to kick in. Hope you feel better.
