"suffering from daily and day-long anxiety and occasional panic attacks, lexapro 10mg definitely made a difference within less than a month.  i wasn&#039;t as anxious or worrisome all the time and my patience was much better. because it&#039;s also for depression, i also found a change in my mood for the best.  unfortunately, after a few months on it, i plateaued, so i guess.  i&#039;ve tried weaning myself off very slowly in a span of 3 months at least 3 times.  each time, i get the brain zaps, which can be a bit cool but gets annoying.  after a few days of that comes the manic psychosis.  i get so ramped up and irritable and argumentative...it goes away within 24 hrs of taking a dose.  so here i am, still taking it."
