"i was diagnosed with ptsd,gad and md .my life was falling apart.i had dark thought ,wasn&#039;t cleaning my house , completely let myself go , no patience with my kids and a negative outlook on life .my anxiety was so bad i was taking xanax to cope . lexapro has been a life saver for me 6 weeks later i&#039;m back to my &quot; normal self &quot; i&#039;m very productive , positive , i take care of my house , myself ... it will not make you happy or &quot; high &quot; but make life so much more enjoyable and easier . i&#039;m at 20 mg of lexapro a day ! and i thank god for it ... i&#039;m 10 lbs down . ssri work different for everyone but if 2 month ago told me my life would change for the better i would have never believed it ! give it a try ! we are all survivors! good luck !"
