"i&#039;ve been taking lexapro since november of last year (2009) and it works great!  i used to get really nervous entering a room or place with large crowds and now it&#039;s easy being the center of attention, especially me wanting to be an actress and all...it really helps! i&#039;m the person i&#039;ve always wanted to be...confident, outgoing, and alot of other things.  although, it would be great if i could do this without the medicine, however, i had tried getting off of it and the anxiety came right back. so, it just works great.  i don&#039;t get nervous or embarrassed easily anymore.  i&#039;m not as moody either...it helps with that.  what more can i say?  if you suffer from anxiety, this is great! i no longer have panic attacks either."
