"i&#039;ve been on escitalopram for almost two years. i started at 10mg and it didn&#039;t work to well. i recently went up to 20mg because i felt anxious about every little thing like before i started. now, i feel awesome! i&#039;m happy at my job. i&#039;m more social at school. i always look on the bright side. it&#039;s really cool. and, it&#039;s not like an unnatural &quot;high&quot; or feeling. it&#039;s just like being myself but in a general good mood most of the time. side effect is sexual, but i don&#039;t believe in pre-marital sex anyway. it goes away after i stop taking it. but, i find myself not thinking about sexual things so much. it&#039;s a definite plus! keeps me on the right path."
