Other than that, I cannot recommend Lexapro enough. Only con to lexapro is night sweats & brain zaps (only if I forget a dose - if I don't forget a dose, that doesn't happen). My emotions more controlled, my anxiety is calmer, my life is such much more manageable. I've been on 10mg Lexapro for 2 years and it has taken the very dark lows out of my life without any side effects. My sex drive has actually improved massively when anxiety & depression aren't in the picture. I see that a lot of people have low libido on this medication, but that is not the case with me.
Lexapro just happens to be my miracle drug! If I could rate it higher than 10 I would. Hang in there."įor Anxiety "I am a firm believer that everyone has a specific medication that works for their brain chemistry.
I am still in shock!!! I am so excited for what life will be from here on out. I was calm and collected and my thoughts weren't a fog. Yesterday, I got ready and went to an interview and nailed it!! I was not anxious nor did I run out of there. A week ago I decided to apply to different jobs. You know how it is working? I was terrified to even think about going into an unknown situation. My first 2 weeks, I was very sleepy during the day, no appetite and awake at night. Going to the grocery store or a simple dr appointment for them was a chore within itself. I am a single mom and keeping up with works, kids, school was just draining on top of being in a flight fight mode 24/7. I have dealt with PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, depression and the whole shebang since I was 18. God Bless you on your journey."įor Generalized Anxiety Disorder "If only I had taken this sooner, how different my life could have been. I would encourage you to try Lexapro and be prepared for a possible adjustment stage, but after the storm, oh what beauty!īe good to yourself fight for your happy place. The outcome is more than I could have hoped for! I am calm, happy, laughing, silly, and ever so grateful! The initial side effects returned and my anxiety and tiredness came back. After 2 months on 5 mg, I increased to 10 mg. I was feeling much better than I had been in years. 2 Weeks into taking Lexapro, the darkness began to lift! I was finally coming alive. of Lexapro, everything got worse, I was more anxious and very tired.
I stayed disoriented, dizzy, glassy-eyed, heart-pounding, crying myself to sleep at night wanting to be "normal" again. I would awake at 3:00 am every morning gripped with thrashing unreasonable thoughts that led into a panic. For Anxiety "I have suffered from extreme anxiety for years now.
