"for the past four months i have had terrible anxiety and multiple terrifying panic attacks per day. i was having to take more and more lorazepam just to get through the day. my doctor prescribed lexapro. i was nervous because i had read such horrible things about the side effects and i really didn&#039;t want to go through it, but lexapro has been great for me! the anxiety disappeared on the first day and i was more chilled out than i have been in years. i was weak and tired and had no appetite but that is all as far as side effects. i am very happy with how i feel and my anxiety free life!"
