Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Hello : I agree with you...the sides are NOT BS, THEY ARE REAL! I have my own battle scars to prove it. At one time I was taking: Lex 30mg, Remeron 15mg, and small amounts of Xanax (my own dumb idea.) I am now only taking the Lexapro at 20mg. I want to be able to judge the sides of Lex on its own. Don't get mw wrong...Plenty of us have been helped by these meds. I have been doing alot of reading lately and have become concerned (been on different AD meds for 5+ YEARS.) A site you may find interesting http://www.breggin.com/ Believe me...I value your input!!! Thank You Jeff > Hi Jeff, > The side effects are not BS, but I have to say.....Dr's prescribe the meds > because we are there looking for help.
