"i was tired all the time. everything stressed me out. i was very negative. i found fault in most things. i was irritable most of the time. my thoughts raced with negativity most of the time. i withdrew socially a lot because other people upset me most of the time. i lacked compassion for other people most of the time. i felt like life was worthless. lots of trouble concentrating at work. trouble sleeping. more depressed in winter time. these problems progressively got worse as i got older. the doctor gave me lexapro. i noticed some changes the 1st day i took the medicines but it took a little over 4 months to take it&#039;s full effect on me. i&#039;m almost exactly opposite of who i used to be now. lexapro changed my life."
