"i have been on this medicine for several years.  i have anxiety and lexapro works really good but don&#039;t miss a dose or try to wean yourself off.  it makes you dizzy and you get these zaps; to my tongue and down my arm.  i am still not off it and went back to my normal dose.  beware of weight gain, i eat very health and get pretty good physical activity and the weight just keeps creeping up.  good luck!
