Joe, I'm about on Day 18 as well. I've had similar side effects including loose stools and the occasional gas. It's not as bad as some other medications and its still noticeable and hasn't completely subsided. Sleep for me, has been better. I have been taking it right before I go to bed because it kind of makes me tired and dizzy. What positive things have you noticed? I do notice somewhat of a relief on anxiety, although my libido hasn't come back in full force like I was hoping (partly because i'm tapering town). Another thing I kind of noticed that I feel like I have a bit more of an emotional response to things. I don't stay in that neutral state like the traditional SSRIs. I can think of things in my head better about life events and situations without it just being 'blocked out' if that makes sense. Did you notice any improvement in social and executive functioning? I remember Lexapro made it more difficult to concentrate. While Effexor, Cymbalta, and to a lesser extent, Prozac helped.
