Lexapro side effects?  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Has anyone ever experienced side effects with Lexapro reguarding your cycles?

I have been on it for about a month and my cycle is usually clock work until now. I had trouble with my chart this month for the first time ever! I had an extremely hard time figuring out when I O'd and now AF is several days late. I'm definately NOT pg ( another side effect has made that an impossibility iykwim?) and up until today I had thought I was experiencing symptoms of AF coming on but now they've stopped. I'm sort of confused... any wisdom?

When I was on in two years ago it affected my cycles for a few months. I don't chart, but I know approx what is going on and when things are going to happen, and it was out of whack for a few months. I remember my periods being different for a few months also, but now I can't remember whether they were heavier than usual or lighter than usual.

Anyhoo, after a few months it all evened out and I was back to normal again. I just went back on Lexapro three weeks ago but I don't have my period back yet (nursing 12 month old,) so I'm not sure what it will do when it comes back.

Hi. I'm not sure how much of an effecct it had on my cycle b/c i was such a stressed-out nut case! I have been on Lexapro for 9 months now & my cycle is definitely its old, *normal* self.

I'm on lexapro and have had less problems with my cycle than I had before I was on it. Sorry that I am not much of a help.
