"lexapro helped me in many ways back in 2009. i suffered with anxiety for awhile before i sought professional help. after many exhausting trips to urgent cares and emergency rooms, it was time to address my anxiety head on. after a trip to an urgent care in san diego, a doctor prescribed me 10 0.25mg of xanax. he said i should try it out to help ease my anxiety. xanax worked wonders but i knew that it wasn&#039;t safe for long term use. i eventually got a new prescription from my primary for a 30 day supply of 0.25mg of xanax. i used it very sparingly and it took almost three months to finish the 30 day supply. my anxiety was still horrible and i was becoming too reliant on xanax. i needed help fast! that&#039;s when lexapro changed my life."
