    Coops, I've been on Lexapro for about 2 years now and I absolutely love it. I can't say that is does anything for my sleeping habits but I call it the "I don't give a shit" pill because I maintain a level head. There are no highs and lows when taking it.

    For the sleeplessness I have Sonata to take which is good for 3-4 hours of sleep which helps when I need it and non-addictive.

    I must also say as a personal testimony the ex hated it as I became adjusted to Lexapro. Nothing she does phases me now and it really pissed her off that she could no longer get into my head. :satana:

    If you took Lexapro and did NOT eat the ice cream...you wouldn't have gained the wait. So don't blame the drug. Blame your filthy eating habits...

    I'm just sayin....

    What if you took Lexapro and did NOT eat ice cream? It's the ice cream that made you gain the weight.

    Dr., I've been taking Aspirin lately. Also I started gargling broken glass. Now my throat hurts. The Aspirin really messed up my throat!

    The thing that you don't get is that Lexapro made me eat much more then i should or need to eat.

    I've actually had less of an appetite on the medication. Getting better sleep, feeling good about things, and eating only when my body says it's hungry. I find I'm drinking a lot of water, more than usual. It could be just the heat too.

    Where would you find it?
    LOL that's funny. I work 3 jobs so I'm pretty much on the go from 7am - 10/11pm four to five days a week. I do need to start doing something to make myself feel better about me. We have a treadmill at the community center, so maybe I can start using it when I work up there in the evenings.

    Glad to hear that you did not gained a significant weight in a short time.I did read before that I think it 25% of the people who take Lexapro will gained a significant weight in a short time
