"lexapro is wonderful! i suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and was put on lexapro about 5 months ago. i started with the 10mg does, but now taking 20mg. it took about 5 weeks for me to notice this medicine was working. i have not experienced any side effects so far and have actually lost weight since i have been on lexapro. instead of me being edgy, uptight, panicking, etc. i am now happy and calm! lexapro is really a miracle."
