Thanks so much Beth. This is so encouraging. I took 5mgs a while ago and now I think I should have taken it this evening. I want to go back to sleep. I am a slight bit dizzy too.

Thank you for telling me what your schedcual was working up to a full dose. I LOVE my MS doctor but she is not good about working me up to a full dose of anything.

Can Advil be taken with Lexapro? I take Advil to help with my Avonex side effects.

BTW, no weight gain for me either.

Much success.
