"lexapro made me feel normal again. i was severely depressed and so scared i would never feel normal again. i started at 5mg and worked up to 15mg over a few months. at three months i felt like me again. it was a roller coaster getting there with good days and down days where i never thought i would feel like me again. but the three month mark i feel great! i promised myself that when i felt good again, i would share my experience. hang in there, you will feel good again just give it time. and when you have a down moment, think of happy times and remember you will get better. side effects initially was yawning a lot. i can finally sleep again and i gained my weight back because i actually want to eat again. life is good now. thank you lex!"
