"i went to my ob gyn to ask about lexapro for some major depression &amp; anxiety i was experiencing. lexapro had worked quite well for a friend of mine. i had previously taken zoloft a few years prior &amp; it made my post-partum depression worse. 
i had great hopes for this drug, but it unfortunately did not work well for me. i felt like a zombie. i believe it gave me psychosis. i also experienced my first panic attack after being on 10 mg for 3 days. i then took 5 mg for two more days and stopped taking it all together. 
still 3 months after stopping i am having panic attacks with some psychotic features.
i&#039;ve pulled myself out of that deep depression though. still have bad days occasionally, but i&#039;m only taking xanax as needed."
