The most commonly observed adverse events in Lexapro patients (incidence of approximately 5% or greater and approximately twice the incidence in placebo patients) were insomnia, ejaculation disorder (primarily ejaculatory delay), nausea, sweating increased, fatigue, and somnolence.
For seroquel, the first number represents incidents under the listed side-effect for patient trials with the drug, the second number represents those given a placebo.

Dry mouth 12% 1%

I just quit taking Lexapro for depression. I hated it…It made me wake up at night, and if I didn’t eat enough before taking it, it made me sick. Not to mention the whole ‘sexual side effect’ thing…UGH…
Hopefully you’ll have better luck!!
