re: Has anybody ever taken Lexapro and had a personality change?

IOW, pay attention to this and tell your doctor what people are telling you. If you are not happy with the answer see someone in the field for help. The problem with hypomania in particular is that you might like it too much to do anything about it but keep in mind that if that is what's going on then one hellacious crash awaits you at the end of the cycle.

I'm starting to conclude that it is not mania, that it's my actual personality that has come back. The personality I had when I was younger. I just forgot it existed. I never knew I could be this person again. I'm so confident now and like talking to strangers. I used to always wonder what someone was thinking about me before I even said hello. All those thoughts are blocked out now. The anxiety levels have dropped. I no longer think there's something wrong with me. I no longer feel like I need to see a shrink. I lived with mental suffering for years. I was able to hide it from people. I had tried Zoloft in the past, but it didn't work the same way that Lexapro has worked for me.
