"taking lexapro was the best decision i&#039;ve ever made!! i&#039;ve struggled with anxiety and depression since i was a kid. i had never taken any medications for it until i was 24. the anxiety had taken over my life, i could barely go to work and i was up for most of my nights because my mind would be going 100 miles an hour and i couldn&#039;t get my mind to stop racing. i had a lot of social anxiety. every single little thing would seem like such a huge task or issue. i felt completely exhausted all the time, all i wanted to do was sleep. after about 4 months of being it lexapro i can finally say i am the happiest i&#039;ve ever been! i&#039;ve even started college which is something i thought i would never have the courage to do."
