"before i started taking lexapro i had recurring suicidal thoughts constantly. i&#039;ve been taking it for 3 months now and i honestly can&#039;t believe how great the results are. i have zero suicidal thoughts, which is a first. my anxiety has pretty much disappeared completely, which i didn&#039;t even realize that i had some anxiety until the medicine started working. i actually get up and do stuff again! i finally got my life back under control thanks to lexapro. i was afraid to take it at first because i was afraid to gain weight like some people experience, and i actually have gained 5 lbs but it actually looks good on me because i was extremely slender before. i&#039;m on 10 mg btw."
