"i&#039;m someone that has been generally anxious for my whole life with spells of depression sprinkled in. recently i thought i had been improving with my anxiety but then i had a panic attack, out of the blue, with no rhyme or reason; it just happened. i was afraid this would affect my work so i finally pushed myself to see a psychiatrist, who suggested that lexapro would be an appropriate option. i started taking it and had some nasty side affects (no appetite, nausea, slight dizziness, jitters, tenseness) for the first two days but after that i noticed how well it was working. my anxiety has lessened immensely and it&#039;s giving me a second chance i never knew i wanted. i&#039;m still in the first week of trying it but it&#039;s worked excellently so far!"
