"my husband used to take paxil &amp; was able to ween himself off successfully,over 6 years ago. now,after being severely &amp; permanently injured at work,having spinal surgery 2 years ago, he has severe anxiety,with good reason! &amp; his doctors have put him on valium, then ativan, &amp; then klonapin.  but recently, a new doctor asked him to try lexapro. boy what a wonder drug so far!! very few side-effects,and it really gets him focused and happier!! if it continues,it will be a miracle for our family!!!!!!"
