depression
"I am a 42 year old male who suffered from drug abuse, severe depression and social anxiety disorder. While seeking help for crystal meth addiction my psychiatrist prescribed Lexapro (10mg then 20mg). It took over 5 months of daily use before I started to feel better but now I can say that Lexapro has really changed my life for the better. I have been crystal meth free for two years now and actually enjoy being alive. I also interact with people much more and look forward to the future. Minor side effects included bruising (when taken with aspirin), trouble sleeping, increased sweating and hyper-activity, all of which disappeared after lowering my dose from 20 to 10mg. This medicine has been a life saver."
