"my story is really long and complicated. i was originally on xanax and all it did was make me sleep. switched doctors because my original doctor wouldn&#039;t switch me off the xanax. new doctor prescribed me lexapro. i was upset at first because i didn&#039;t feel i needed it, i thought lexapro was an anti-depressant and i wasn&#039;t depressed.. about a month after i started taking the lexapro i felt amazing! but then i lost my health insurance so they put me on paxil. i miss my lexapro! it was the best."
