"for me, this drug has been amazing. i&#039;ve had anxiety most of my life but over the past few years i started having panic attacks. i finally went to the doctor and he put me on lexapro. i&#039;ve been taking it for approximately 6 months and i started seeing results within the 1st week. i haven&#039;t gained any weight, in fact i&#039;ve lost weight and sometimes have to make myself eat. it does make me sleepy, so i take it at night. for me it has worked wonders."
