"i was given lexapro 10 mg once per day i have been on it since july as my anxiety was pretty bad i was also given xanax ( which did noting ) so they gave me valium ( still had no effect) so j have been just taking lexapro now and it seems to be ok , i still get nervous feeling sometimes but not as bad as they were . in the first two weeks of taking lexapro i felt very sick i got sick a few times and just felt rotten but the dr did tell that would happen and after about 2 weeks i felt perfect again ,"
