"after the death of one of my relative,my whole world changed. i thought it was due to my emotional nature.  i started having panic attacks, lack of interest, unusual feeling of fear, lack of appetite, was not able to look after myself or my family. i thought that i was going to die.i t was all unbearable. but believe me lexapro is really great .after 8 weeks, i started feeling my normal self. mild side effects: yawning, tiredness. but it may be due to my illness rather than the medicine effect. after taking this medicine, i got my strength back. it has saved my life. just give it a try and hang on there for at least 2 months. it can really save your life too."
