"lexapro helped me a lot!  i&#039;m on 10mg and therapy to talk through my issues i didn&#039;t realise the tight feeling in my chest was anxiety...i felt like i had that all day. it completely went away. i take it at night, the downsides are i was always active, the gym was my hobby, when on lexapro i felt not interested at all in exercise and couldn&#039;t lift weights like i used to, and i&#039;d be tired in workouts. i often feel tired during the day and could nap, sex drive is lowered. the plus sides are i am a lot more relaxed, able to think things through properly and it is rare for me to cry now. i don&#039;t worry and i enjoy life, i&#039;m still myself just more relaxed, i am in a positive place. i am just slowly tapering down my medication for more energy :)"
