"lexapro has helped me so much. i am currently on week 6 of a 10mg dose. 24yr old male.  i felt the effects almost immediately. the first 3 days it gave me extreme add. i could not focus on one thing for more than 1 minute. my brain was jumping from thought to thought like never before. after the first week i suddenly had a moment of clarity and was able to focus better than i ever was before. my anxiety and depression in the morning completely went away. i was able to get out of bed. no more driving anxiety or thoughts of self harm. all completely went away. the only negative thing that i have found is one side effect. it now takes a very, very long time for me to reach orgasm during sex. sometimes not at all. no matter how pretty she is."
