"i suffer from depression and anxiety. i was on a number of meds before my doctor put me on lexapro.. they were all horrible and made my anxiety worse. i was starting to lose hope that i would never find a medication to help. thankfully lexapro is helping! it&#039;s a lifesaver!! i could tell a difference after the first day..i&#039;m much more &quot;normal&quot; i don&#039;t fly into a rage so easily, i don&#039;t feel overwhelmed constantly and i&#039;m not irritated all the time for no reason. my moods are much more stable. before lexapro i seriously felt like i was losing it. my husband even told me he notices a huge difference in me since being on this. i&#039;m also prescribed klonopin for my anxiety but since being on lexapro i haven&#039;t had a need to take it. i love lexapro!"
