Lexapro Description

Lexapro is effective in the treatment of depression. Lexapro was developed by isolating a part of the Celexa (Citalopram) molecule, known as an isomer. As a result, Lexapro appears to offer some particular advantages in the treatment of depression.

Lexapro Dosage

Simple 10 mg/day starting dose for all patients. Lexapro should be taken once every day. It may be taken with or without food, in the morning or evening. Also remember to fill prescriptions ahead of time to avoid missing a dose. To get the best results, it is important to follow all of your healthcare provider's instructions about how and when you should take Lexapro.

Side Effects of Lexapro

Lexapro is well tolerated by most people. The most commonly reported side effects of Lexapro are nausea, insomnia, problems with ejaculation, drowsiness, increased sweating, and fatigue. Most of the side effects experienced by patients taking Lexapro are mild and go away with continued treatment, and usually do not cause patients to stop taking Lexapro.
