"male, 50, about 1 yr ago experienced sudden onset of debilitating generalized anxiety disorder.  suffered 3 months trying benzodiazepines, buspar, wellbutrin and lexapro 10 mg.  settled on lexapro 20 mg.  100% symptom-free in about 1 month.  after 1 year, tapered off about a month ago.  zero negative side effects from tapering and 100% recovery.  i&#039;m not one to suggest a miracle but this is about as close as it gets."
