"i&#039;ve experienced major depression along with high anxiety. lexapro has been fantastic for me in helping to get rid of my depression and helping my anxiety significantly. i&#039;ve tried prozac, and compared to the two lexapro has given me much less side effects, has not interacted with other drugs i take, works faster, and has given me my life back. overall, i think anyone who is suffering with depression, but also has high anxiety can definitely benefit from this drug. it&#039;s been great for me and i think it&#039;s worth a shot for anyone who isn&#039;t having much luck with other ssris."
