"i am a 26 year old who has had anxiety since i was a child. i&#039;ve gone through rough spots on and off throughout my life where i would feel extremely anxious and nauseous all of the time. i finally decided to do something about it when i started experiencing panic attacks on top of it all. lexapro along with seeing a psychologist saved my life. i went into this knowing there is no &quot;magic&quot; pill out there - i still have good and bad days like everyone, but nothing like how bad i felt before. when i initially began taking the medicine, it made my anxiety worse - i told my doctor and he adjusted the dosage to a smaller amount. i felt tremendously better in just about a week, and have continued to feel better and better."
