I was on Lexapro for several years (recently went off). Worked well for me, no complaints. Going off is tough, though. I've been off for over a month and I'm still getting weird brain tinglies.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Mmm, I love that Vampire wine.
I've been on Lexapro, and it's been pleasant. I wish it dealt with the PMS psychosis, though.

Any side effects I should be aware of going on it? Weight gain/loss? Sexybad? Other stuff?

Now tagless for your comfort.
meara, it has one of the cleanest drug profiles of any AD--it has no sexual side effects that I know of. It's related to Celexa and can cause night sweats. I haven't gained any appreciable amount of weight on it. It seems to not only handle my depression but also my mild anxiety.

I got night sweats like whoa for a while, but no other side effects.

I know we've talked about promiscus plant sex before -- but the wind moves it up to Public Sex. and that is just wrong.

It's good news about your blood test, bonny!
I stopped at the co-op to pick up some challah for tonight and a couple other small items. The bill was $7.57. I handed the clerk $20.57. She typed into the register that I'd given her $200.57 and she couldn't figure out how much change to give me. It was painful.
To make up for yesterday's clueless patron, I had the nicest, most polite patron ever today. He was sprinting to open doors for me as we gathered what he needed around the library.
