"i have been on this medication for about a week.  it was prescribed for severe depression (ptsd). i also have severe anxiety attacks that would cause me to have outbursts of anger, nothing physical, but verbal altercations with people. 

the first day i took escitaloprom, i felt totally relaxed and with no signs of anger and anxiety.  i do get sleepy, and feel a little lethargic.  i have been on many different drugs for the same reason, and i now ask why was i not prescribed this medication years ago.  too early to notice any change in weight gain.  i was able to stop taking my anxiety medicine, and reduced my sleep medication by half. a great medication that is helping me recover from years of useless depression and anxiety."
