Lexapro Uses
Lexapro is an anti-depressant from the family of drugs
known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or
SSRIs. Lexapro helps to restore the brain's chemical
balance by increasing the supply of a substance in the
brain called serotonin. Lexapro appears to relieve depression
by increasing serotonin without affecting many of the
other chemicals in the brain that influence mood. As
with other prescription depression medications, it may
take time for the effects to be fully noticed.
How to Use Lexapro
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.
Lexapro Side Effects
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. As is the case with many prescription
depression medications, it may take awhile for the side
effects, if any, to go away.
Lexapro Precautions
LEXAPRO can be taken with most other medications except
another family of antidepressants called monoamine oxidase
inhibitors (MAOIs). LEXAPRO and MAOIs should not be
taken together or within 14 days of each other. Before
you begin taking LEXAPRO, make sure to tell your healthcare
provider if you are taking any other medications, including
over-the-counter medications, herbal remedies, diet
supplements, etc.
