i was on lexapro for a little while after DD was born, and i didn't suffer any crazy side effects or anything, but that's just me, i know that i have heard of others having some not so nice side effects, but everyone's different. i think lexapro is a lower dose AD then some of the others? i guess talk to your doctor about your concerns, but really from my experience, it was good, it helped me enough to get back the control i needed. maybe that's something that might help you? and i felt better about being on it because it was lower dose than some of the others, and i found it was enough for me.....but i guess all you can do is try it and see? i really hope things start getting better for you
