"i was prescribed lexapro about a year and a half ago after suffering from severe depression and anxiety (female, 23). started on 10mg and have just upped the dosage to 20mg. i get a yawn and get a bit of nausea, also makes me a bit frigidity/hard to focus. even so, it&#039;s done wonders on my moods and how my brain seems to function. it helps me sleep, i don&#039;t have crazy vivid dreams any more. if i miss a dose or two you can really tell the difference. it definitely mellows me out and i feel like i can manage basic day to day things since starting it. i have had some trouble with orgasming, however not always. can&#039;t drink any alcohol on it because it goes straight my head and makes me go silly. lexapro has changed my life."
