"before i started taking lexapro i would be anxious constantly and it the anxiety interfered with my daily life. i would avoid events, people, and responsibilities, now i don&#039;t do that anymore. i&#039;m generally happier and functioning better in life. i also found that my anxiety opened the door to depression, now thats gone too. it took 2 months to kick in

side effects: good news is i didn&#039;t gain weight on it. my biggest complaint was that it totally killed my sex drive and made it virtually impossible to orgasm, however i found out that taking it at night instead of in the morning brought my sex drive back :) i also feel a bit numb emotionally but it&#039;s so worth it

i still take .25-.5 mg clonzepam a few times a week if anxiety flares up"
