"i was on lexapro awhile ago, but stopped taking it.  then my anxiety and panic attacks started coming back, and the doctor wanted to try me on zoloft.  i experienced horrible side effects, and it made my anxiety worse.  i said i didn&#039;t want to take a medicine that causes me more anxiety!  i asked if i could please go back on lexapro, it had a couple of side effects but nothing like zoloft.  this is my 3rd day on it again, and already i can tell a big difference.  i would rather take medicine to make me feel normal again than try to tell myself i don&#039;t need it.  because it&#039;s not worth spending life depressed and anxious over everything.  i would definitely recommend trying it, to improve the quality of life for an anxious personality."
