"i&#039;ve been using lexapro for about 4 weeks now. the doctor started me out on 5mg and then after 3 weeks rose it to 10mg. she wanted to make sure i wasn&#039;t having any negative side effects. my anxiety was something that was constant. i would have panic attack and on occasion i would purge my food from the anxiety. today i don&#039;t feel the constant anxiety, haven&#039;t had a panic attack, and haven&#039;t had the urge to purge. i never thought i would wake up everyday and feel as happy and ready to take on the day as i do. i completely recommend this medication and you really do have to take it for a few weeks to notice change. i get it&#039;s not for everyone but it worked for me and i&#039;m forever grateful to be here alive and thrivin&#039;!"
