"i have been on visitril for a little over a week now and i have to say that it has been an overall therapeutic and positive experience. i was on lexapro (escitolopram) for almost 3 months and found that the medicine would make me pretty anxious though did level me out during a very rocky time in my life . i chose to start taking visitril since the lexapro wasn&#039;t effective in ways i wanted and now on 50mg to 100 mg a day, i can say that it is easier to be focused on things that i really care about and i can usually notice the subtle change in my body when it stops working (in my stomach primarily) and i&#039;ll pop another one and will stay pretty level as long as it is in my system."
