"lexapro has worked well for me. my anxiety and depression are about gone.  the first 2 months were pretty bad and i almost quit many times but am glad i didn&#039;t. side effects included night sweats, tinitus, headaches, insomnia, sexual issues, dizzzyness......  most of this has resolved now after 3 months. adding a b complex with folate and omega 3 seems to have helped me. this is a very good drug for anxiety and depression but you&#039;ll need to be very patient, and struggle thru the initial side effects"
