Aggie, I'm glad that the Lexapro is helping you. I hope that the insomnia is only a temporary adjustment thing and that you don't experience any other bad side effects.

FWIW, there is a website http://www.askapatient.com where you can typically find a lot of anecdotal information on how well specific drugs have worked for people and what side effects they've experienced. I found it to be pretty helpful a few years ago when my then-doctor told me that there was absolutely no way that the headaches I was getting were due to the birth control I was on...I eventually stumbled upon that site and what do you know, there were a ton of people reporting killer headaches while on that pill.

Anyway, once again, best of luck with this treatment!
