"lexapro really helped me to feel more like myself. after a long time battling a &quot;mystery&quot; disease, i was debilitated, i couldn&#039;t function in my normal life, and was feeling just very strange. i decided that i would go to a psyche, and he prescribed me lexapro. it really seemed to help. i eventually stopped taking it, and have been pretty much okay for the past 4 years or so, but now the symptoms are flaring up again, with some additional stuff so i am going through the medical rounds again to make sure there is nothing underlying. and if there&#039;s not then i&#039;m going to suggest that i get back on lexapro because it really did seem to help me! i didn&#039;t have any side effects with it that i can remember. it really worked well."
