"i started lexapro the summer before my sophomore year of college and have now been on it for about 6 months now. it worked pretty well in the first month, my anxiety went down but after that it felt useless. we upped the dosage all the way from i think 5mg to 20mg by the end of the summer and still felt useless. i decided to continue taking lexapro as i went back to college and i still felt like it was not working. i still felt really anxious and on edge all the time so i decided to go to the school&#039;s psychiatry center, which during my screening they told me that lexapro is actually known for dying out over time. i stopped taking it and my anxiety is through the roof. overall, it helped me but not as much as i&#039;d liked it to"
