"saved my life. i used to take 20 mg two years ago. i ended up taking myself off, (tapering) then i was fine for about 6 months. i fell into a relapse and now started on 10 mg. i would be so afraid of what to eat and if something was going to make my blood sugar to high. now i can eat healthy but not have to worry that to much fruit will make me sick. i can have a soda every now and then. i love lexapro. the first few days are different, headache, stomach ache and dizziness. now i feel 100% better."
