generalized anxiety disorde
"Mid life generalized anxiety disorder. Prescribed Lexapro 5  weeks ago and it's finally working.
I feel normal for the 1st time in years. 4  weeks of anxiety and flat emotions. But the flat feeling is normal, not the excessive swings in feelings and mood that often cause great anxiety. Things don't bother me so much now, and the racing thoughts don't cause much problem. Just stop them or write them down and don't feel overwhelmed by things to do.
Lexapro is a real life saver, just wish I'd been able to try it several years ago, the BiPolar misdiagnosis really caused problems.
Anyone thinking about giving up this medicine during the 1st few weeks, stick it out, I did and it's a miracle!"
