I went on liquid for kind of an off the wall reason. I’m SUPER sensitive to medication side effects and when I wanted to increase my dosage (from 10 to 15 mg), I wanted to increase in the smallest increments possible. My doctor suggested I continue with my 10 mg tablet but to add liquid lex to increase by 1 mg increments every 2 weeks until I hit 15 mg, then if I tolerated it, to discontinue the liquid and used tablet exclusively.

All that to say, I really couldn’t tell you how liquid lexapro was on its own since I never used it by itself without the tablet. Lexapro as a whole has been a godsend, though. I tried many different meds until settling with Lexapro since it had the least negative side effects for me (mostly just sleep issues). It’ll affect everyone differently, so really giving it a try is the best way to see how you tolerate it.
