| 1 | Depression | Very poor concentration, lack of corrdination, decreasted mental functioning, decreased awareness, extreme desire to sleep. | WARNING: Lexapro can be poison to your brain. The drug is horrible and it was a major factor in myself losing a job and poor performance in another. I would NEVER advise anyone to ever take this drug. Coming down and off are very difficult. Please look for other medications. | M | 61 | 2 years 5 MG 1X D | 1/4/2012 | |
| 3 | Depression | Lexapro recently went generic and I changed to save money. However, I have found I am not having the same effects and a few strange side effects from the generic version I am taking The manufacturer of the generic is Apotex Corporation out of Canada. I have been experiencing some strange emotional sensations which are hard to explain. Has anyone else had any issues with generic Lexapro? | M | 61 | 5 MG 1X D | 6/23/2013 | ||
| 3 | Depression | BEWARE....the generics of Lexapro are NOT all the same. They vary greatly in how effective they are. Most generics are made overseas in India or China. I had to go to three pharmacies before I could find one that did not cause serious side effects. | Again, please be very careful when changing over to the generic of Lexapro. The best manufacturer I have found is Lupen. | M | 62 | 2 years 10Mg 1X D | 8/31/2013 | |
