"i&#039;ve been on lexapro for probably 7 years now. i&#039;ve had severe anxiety, panic attacks, mood issues, eds, and depression for a long time. lexapro has helped immensely. i had side effects for the first few weeks (night sweats, felt tired, maybe increased anxiety at first) but i stuck with it and it&#039;s been my staple drug throughout these years compared to the 20  i have tried. i ultimately needed to add a mood stabilizer to get further relief, but lexapro is definitely a huge help in that. i am on 10mg and lamictal 50mg"
