"escitalopram (generic for lexapro) has completely changed my life for the better. i was always angry, in a bad mood, i snapped at my husband, my kids, my dog annoyed me. i stopped caring about my looks, i rarely smiled: unless i was drinking wine. my marriage was in shambles! it wasn&#039;t until i reached rock bottom and my husband threatened to leave me that i sought help from my doctor. i am so happy and thankful that i did and that my doctor prescribed me lexapro. i am now calm, things that once bothered me don&#039;t bother me anymore. i am happy. this medicine has saved my marriage and changed my life. i highly recommend it to anyone experiencing the same troubles i once did. it takes about 2 weeks to work so give it a chance."
