"i&#039;ve struggled with anxiety for years and worried about everything!  i finally tried escitalopram!  one of the best things i ever did!  i was so scared of living in a fog from past experiences with anxiety meds.!   in the first week i found 10mg to be to much, so i started cutting down to 2 mg!  when i was ready or felt anxiety sneaking on me again i would up it another 2 mg!  yes all the side affects are real and possible!  but after 4 to 5 weeks i was able to level out!  i gave it my best shot and it was worth it in the end!  i&#039;m now taking 10mg daily!  hope this was helpful"
