The active ingredient of generic Lexapro - Escitalopram oxalate (5 mg) is an SSRI antidepressant or in other words selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. The inhibition of serotonin reuptake leads to increased concentration of the neuromediator in the synaptic gap, increasing and prolonging its effects on the postsynaptic receptors. Generic Lexapro is the most selective of all the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). Many people who take Lexapro have reported that it has better effects and lower chances for side effects than other SSRIs.

Most everything but the weight gain and loss of libido usually goes away within a couple of weeks. The odds are just lower than the other SSRIs and the effects less severe, even the weight gain and sexual problems tend to be not as bad with escitalopram oxalate. Lexapro hasn't been on the market long enough for the really freaky side effects to come out, so we're stuck with uncontrolled eye movement and excessive discharge of breast milk when there shouldn't be any breast milk at all.
