"i have always experienced small bouts of anxiety and depression before but nothing that ever really stuck around. a few months ago something caused me to become anxious, which lead to a panic attack which then lead to depression, and no matter what i did i just couldn&#039;t shake it. i couldn&#039;t eat, sleep, no desire to do anything, always anxious. i went to my doctor who put me on lexapro. it immediately helped with my anxiety, and within a few days my depression lifted. i have now been on lexapro for over 2 months and feel back to my normal self.

initial side effects: very sleepy for about 3 days, nausea for a couple of nights.

i still experience: vivid dreams and low sex drive.

i never experienced: weight gain or insomnia.

overall very happy."
