Cipralex: Like all medications, cipralex (or Lexapro (escitalopram) here in the usa) can have side effects. The list is long, but not everyone experiences them. If concerned about yourself on this medicine, please talk with your prescribing physician who knows your history. Usually the medicine requires at least 4-6 weeks for positive results in depression, and you're very early in your course so far. Be well.
