Hi Aelfaba,
My daughter who doesn't have PCS (I'm the PCS person) just started Lexapro a few weeks ago for crippling anxiety. It's usually prescribed for Depression or Anxiety. She found it very difficult for the first week. She's only on a very low dose of 10mg and staying at that. She is feeling unbelievably better just in a few short weeks.

As I said, the first week was difficult. She also contracted a cold virus during that week and that made things harder perhaps.

The one thing I noticed in my searching for info about Lexapro was that there is a massive list of other medications and such that can't be taken at the same time. That included many over the counter cold meds for example, and she can't take her Tryptophan anymore... Just letting you know.

It's really worthwhile using the drug interaction checker considering you say you're taking a "pile of pills"

All the best to you taking it. I didn't want my daughter to take it at all. I'm happy to see her feeling so much less anxiety now. I hope it helps you.
