"i&#039;m 21 and have been taking lexapro for over 4 years and have seen good results and bad. i had a panic attack after taking zoloft and was hospitalized after a few days and began taking lexapro afterwards and have had a few episodes. the biggest thing i think that has affected me was going off for a few days because it messed my system up. i am on 200mg in the morning and 100mg at night. i&#039;m still struggling at times with public anxiety and depression, but still feel good after i take it. next time i think i am going to ask for another medicine. for new users, i recommend it, but take it how you are prescribed and let your doctor know if its not working."
