Hi ladies,

Happy Saturday to you all. I am looking for a little advice. I have been put on escitalopram/lexapro and after weeks of having it in the drawer as I do just want to feel better but I'm so worried.

Last night I took my first one and I feel fine, I took it just before sleep, slept well. I've now searched for possible side effects and have seen people mention how bad the next two weeks could be. I have just started a new job which is very full on and I'm now very worried as I won't have any downtime. I'm now wondering if I should continue? Can people share how the first couple weeks were for them as I'm not sure now is the right time to start these (I'm starting on 5mg which I know is a very low dose)
