"16 female. I&#039;ve been under the care of a psychiatric adolescent ward for about 5 months now, this is one of the medications I have tried more recently.
Firstly I had severe flatulence after a day or two of taking the first dose of 5mg. I was also constipated so took laxatives, which then gave me really bad runs which I had for the course of taking lexapro. I also had a slight tremor. I had lexapro in the morning at 5mg. I came off of it within a week of starting it. The day after I came off of Lexapro I was sick, and had terrible stomach cramps and the runs still. It helped with my mood but sadly the side effects outweighed the positives!"
