Hey everyone. I would like to know if lexapro is working for you? I just started taking it and I think its starting to help but has made me jittery all night if I take it at night and now since I have taken it mid day its working out pretty well.

Hi kstroublegrl! I've been taking lexapro for 6 days now and I'm the happiest I've been since I was 14(I'm now 22). The first day I took one I was jittery that night too,but I started taking mine first thing in the morning and I slept fine by the end of the day. I haven't had any problems with being jittery since. It's working great for me.I'm actually glad I started taking it. Also,to keep from getting nauseous take it with food. If you drink alcohol later in the day after taking it it will buzz you to the stars.(Trust me.) I drunk a 12oz. can of beer the 4th day of taking them and that's what it did to me. It didn't make me feel bad,just sleepy,by the way,I slept great that night between the beer and lexapro. But,I don't recommend taking the habit of drinking everynight. I hope this was helpful and I hope that the lexapro works for you.

Hi Roxanne,

I am taking 20mg of Lexapro and it's working great for me. I never had problems with jitters. I take mine first thing in the morning. It sounds like it is starting to work for you. Hope you are feeling better soon.
