This type of atelectasis may also result from physical trauma to the lungs like during car accidents or stabbing incidents.

How long does it take for Lexapro to work? Sleep, energy, or appetite may show some improvement within the first 1-2 weeks.

Depressed mood and lack of interest in activities may need up to 6-8 weeks to fully improve.ow long does it take for Lexapro to work?
