"i have suffered from anxiety my whole life but it never got to the point where i felt like it was ruining parts of my life. then both of my parents got sick and out of nowhere i could barely eat, go out and everyday felt like a battle. i was prescribed lexapro and at first i was so anxious to take the medicine that the first week of taking it really spiked my anxiety. after about 10-14 days i felt amazing! i could eat again without feeling like i was choking on everything and i felt like my old self again. actually like a better version of my old self. i would strongly recommend this medicine to anyone suffering from anxiety. just know that it takes a little while for it to work and the first week can be terrible. just stick with it!"
