"lexapro was a life saver for me. it helped me complete every day tasks that i could not do before taking this drug. i&#039;ve tried nearly every other ssri but this one was the best. the only negative part about this drug is the withdrawal symptoms. they are horrible. i recently found out i was pregnant and i had to cut down my dose according to my dr. i was super dizzy, very faint and unable to leave my house. if i didn&#039;t have to stop these drugs, i would still be okay. however, slowly weening off these drugs have caused me to slip in a horrible anxious state."
