"i started taking lexapro for anxiety and depression. my anxiety was so bad at times, i felt like i was having mini panic attacks. the worst part of my day was the thought of waking up and having to go to work. i have 3 children and felt like i couldn&#039;t take care of them, thank god for my family. besides the occasional advil for a headache, i do not take any other medications and didn&#039;t really like the idea of being on this type of medication. but, you know what? i have a family, friends, a career, and house, so if i have to take a little pill to feel better, then so be it. i&#039;m just glad i don&#039;t have to suffer and there is help out there."
