I too am on Lexapro. Very helpful. Real low dose 10 mg. Takes the edge off of the anxiety and it is also the type that will usually cause weight loss instead of gaining. I personally have dropped 10 lbs. since going on it.
I agree the first few weeks it does weird things to your body while it adjusts to the meds, but once they subside, it is much better dealing with everyday life while on it. Good luck to you. I hope we will all be posting about a full recovery and no side effects. Ugh.
I am now at about 6 1/2 months post and starting to have the tingling in my arms big time again. This is the weirdest thing I have ever experienced in my life. I wish I could understand more why this evil device is still haunting so many of us long after removal. It's just not fair.
