"after divorcing my wife of 8 years, and all the stuff included with this such as moving, a kid etc, my life completely fell apart.  i felt like i had to start over, and the extreme lonelyness caused extreme anxiety and depression. the anxiety was 24/7 for 1.5 weeks, non stop, intense, could hardly sleep and constantly wanted to die. had it not been for my daughter i probably would&#039;ve offed myself. 

after 1.5 months i felt depressed but better and decided to go back to work. bad idea, anxiety came back with vengence and after 3 weeks i was asked by my doctor to start escitalopram (she called it cipralex, but the escitalopram is a much cheaper generic one, so i got that one)

had no effect at up 15mg for 1 month. then 1 week at 20mg yay !"
