Give it a try. If you do get side effects they shouldn't last more than a few hours. No one likes side effects but the chance for them is always there. Keep a good thought. Godbless

is it right to think...the lower the dosage...the less chance of effects???
and like if i do get side effects none of them should land me in the hospital right????i mean ill be able to FUNCTION
i was gonna take it at night thinking that might make it easier for me????
how long till id see a side effect...my first dosage???

I am on Lexapro and I take it in the morning. I have tried a few ad in the last 20 years. I did not feel any side effects with this. A little queezy stomach but it passed. i only take 10mg. You willl be fine . I am telling you. The benefits outweigh the side effects. Good luck. Alyce

Lexapro is supposed to be the ad with the least side effects. So It'll work for you.

Its starting to be worth it to me as well..not on anything either
