"after trying to deal with my anxiety without taking medication for the past 2 yrs i finally gave in and asked my doctor for a recommendation. she prescribed me lexapro the 1st 2 days were a little scary (especially after reading the 20 million positive and negative reviews) i felt more anxious and on edge than ever but my search results said that would happen and my doctor had told me i would get worse before i started feeling better so i figured it was normal. after the first 2 days i got the over anxious feeling, so i started focusing on watching out for any other side effects and just getting used to it. the constant yawning the 1st few weeks was just annoying but working out helped a bit. 1 month later and things are going better."
