"i have only been taking lexapro for two days but i already felt a difference the first day.  it was like things were not such a big deal.  a few hours after taking the second dose i had this wave of memories from the last year that made me go &quot;wow, i&#039;ve over reacted, over thought, over cried, over expected from myself and others&quot;.  it does make me a bit sleepy so i take it before bed. my appetite is more normal now where i would eat to feel better now i am only eating when i&#039;m hungry.  it makes me thirsty and makes me yawn a lot but overall but i think this may save me and my family from my freak out moments."
