"&quot;i was given lexapro from my psych recommended by my therapist for anxiety which i had tried to manage naturally for many yrs by faith workingout meditation yoga and eating healthy. i am 37 suffering with severe panic-anxiety attacks which started while i was pregnant and involved dv with the dad who is a angel dust addict. i was always against taking any kind of meds not even for a headache so the thought of taking a drug everyday was scary i was diagnose with ptsd and anxiety. its early since i just took my first dose last night and i haven&#039;t even experience any real side effects apart from a little tiredness this morning even though i slept 8hrs when i was only sleeping 3-4 at most. i still feel very anxious i will check-in 2-3 wks"
