"I suffered from anxiety/depression since I was 16. I'm 25 now. I started self medicated in my early 20's.  When I tried to stop due to addiction issues, my symptoms worsened to the point where I woke every morning with a feeling of intense dread.  I felt the world was against me, I had severe social anxiety, and I was trapped in my own head.  Enter Lexapro 10mg.  I've only been on this medicine for 2 weeks and I feel SO much more emotionally stable. Felt a positive difference Day 1.   I'm able to deal with real problems now instead of make believe ones.  I'm so much more in control.  The world isn't nearly as threatening as it was before.  It's all a bit funny now, I don't take myself or anyone else too seriously.  No side effects either."
