"i have been taking lexapro 10mgs for nearly 4 months because of anxiety and mild depression. i had about 5 days at first with some dizziness and nausea, after that things smoothed out. almost immediately it cured my insomnia by 95%.i take it in the morning. in the past, if i woke up at night my thoughts would turn to things that kept me from falling asleep again. as far as anxiety, i am not worrying about things at work so much. i still have some social and anticipatory anxiety, but it is some better than before. depression is much better; i frequently have a warm feeling of happiness and everything will be alright. before i felt distressed and flat about the future. so, i would definitely recommend a trial with this medication."
