"i didn&#039;t realize how bad i was until i took this medicine!  i&#039;ll start back: for seven years, i was either pregnant or breastfeeding and my mood deteriorated the whole time.  a year before i took lexapro, i was almost done nursing my youngest and started to get awful pelvic spasms.  then, once i finished nursing, i developed irritable bowel syndrome.  after that, anxiety attacks.  my dr. said, &quot;we gotta put you on something&quot; so i asked for something to help calm my stomach and nerve pain in my pelvis.  i started on 5 mg, then 10 mg 2 weeks later.  it&#039;s been 4 weeks and i&#039;m seeing an amazing difference.  pelvic pain significantly reduced, stomach eased, and i&#039;m happier and the &quot;shakes&quot; and nervousness have lessened.  still have some dry mouth, so be prepared. a !"
