"i was at a breaking point and couldn&#039;t take any more bad thought and sad days. it got to the point where i was crying up to 4 times a day, snapping at my husband and kids, having to call in to work because i couldn&#039;t pull it together long enough to function.  it was bad.  i had negative thoughts and obsessed about something bad happening to myself or my daughter and not at the hands of myself.  
side effects were bad at first-insomnia, nausea, swimmy head, anxiety, those only lasted until about day 5 and was told to push through and tough it out.  every day since has been better and better and i finally feel normal again.  lexapro saved my life."
