"been on lexapro for 6 weeks now. it has made a huge difference in my life. i&#039;m calmer, more focused, sleeping better, i can manage my issues with a eater mind. it&#039;s almost like your a more improved version of yourself. however, i have slight side effects such as diarrhea. but i can deal with that! good luck all! please give this medication  a chance to work before giving up on it."
