"lexapro is amazing!  i started out on 10 mg because of my anxiety.  it worked great.  i was bumped up to 20 mg and i feel fantastic.  i have never been so happy.  i am no longer irritable and i feel hope in my life.  the only bad side effect is the sleepiness. by about 3 in the afternoon i am ready to fall asleep.  i also have to make sure i eat before i take it or else my stomach gets upset.  not bad costs for the price of being happy."
