"i have been on a low dose of generic lexapro for almost a month now, 5 mg, and it has drastically improved my quality of life. i was suffering from anxiety and mild depression due to other significant health problems that weren&#039;t getting better--the more i worried about my health the worse it got, and it kept going in a circle on and on. the first week of taking the medicine it caused a slight headache off and on, and some mild dizziness and constipation. but those side effects went away completely by week 2. now i&#039;m getting back to normal, i&#039;m the happiest i&#039;ve been in 2 years, i feel like myself again. 

i was scared to try another anxiety medicine after a bad experience with zoloft. but the lexapro has been wonderful! don&#039;t lose hope!"
