"i thought i&#039;d write a review as i spent months reading these forum&#039;s trying to decide if i should try escitroplam or not. it took me months to get the courage up to take it. i started at 2.5 and bumped up to 5.  i&#039;ve been on 5 for about 5 weeks now and wow what a difference.  anxiety and panic attacks minimal and depression lifting. it&#039;s a very good drug. the least side effects of all i&#039;ve tried. headaches,nausea but that&#039;s all. very happy with this. i was extremely anxious about taking this after a bad experience with prozac but i&#039;m very pleased!"
