"lexapro was a life saver for me. i have really bad tmj and was in pain daily. the lexapro really helped me calm down and my symptoms went away within a few months! this was my first time taking any medication like this, and to be honest i was so embarrassed to be on it, but after i saw how much it helped me and others there is nothing to be ashamed of!! the only bad thing is i gained 10lbs. i went from 123lbs to 133lbs in a matter of 5 months. (still worked out 5 days a week and ate clean) other than the weight gain i would highly recommend lexapro."
