"i&#039;ve been taking 10mg lexapro for anxiety for 5 days now.

off and on in the past yr my level of anxiety has escalated so much that i thought i might have a nervous breakdown or something. i became anti social and angry. i would break down in tears if i thought about anything for more than 3 seconds. i felt hopeless and helpless.

i also take adderall xr20mg.

my dr gave me lexapro 10mg  and said i might experience the side effects and call her in 1 wk if it was too much too handle. headache for a couple hrs was all i experienced. i feel awesome! like a wet blanket has been lifted off of me. i don&#039;t avoid people anymore and i feel like i can face the world and be me again. i think now that the tension is lifted i feel better physically!"
