"i have to say that lexapro has been a god send for me. i have been taking it for about 2 years now and life is as it should be. there aren&#039;t the crazy ups and downs. everything seems to be more even keeled but you still have and feel emotions. although, the first month or so i felt a little &quot;wired&quot; detached or something but better. once you get past that it&#039;s like you finally feel like yourself and so relieved. i especially have noticed a difference around holidays or birthdays. i used to get so depressed around those times, not anymore. i also have noticed a big difference with anxieties. i used to sweat and feel lightheaded if people whom i didn&#039;t know talked to me and i didn&#039;t have someone who i was comfortable with around, not anymore."
