i've been on lexapro for some time and tolerate it well.
i has helped me feel better. i've been very stable on it.
without side effects too.

it usually can take several wks for an antidepressant med to work.
i would try for 2-3 wks. but, if you don't feel well please call your dr's office.

most all meds come with long information about possible side effects. everything but the kitchen sink.

and, yes you can take advil with it. no problem.
you can also talk to your pharmacist about med Q's.

good luck. i hope you do well.

I really hope I do ok with it. I hate trying different medications and dealing with their side effects.

So far today things are fine. I am just a bit sleepy. I am going to take my pill tomorrow before bed instead of in the morning.
