I am on lexapro 10mg and i am great, in the begining I was tired for about a month. My life overall is much better, I eat better, I have more confidence and my anxiety is really controlled. My husband also takes it, and he said he wished he would have started it a long time ago instead of suffering. Everyone is different though. Good Luck

Thank you for commenting! I hope it will make me feel better.. I just hate meds, but I cant stop crying every day and feeling so sad, I deal with thyroid issue which triggers so much of what I experience but non the less it happens, some days I just  cant deal.

I have such bad thoughts of doom , always thinking the worse and it consumes me and my life! I feel very much depressed, and not sure how to cope right now. I just try and get through each day the best I can! I will try and see some more posts. I did look but did not see any, not surprizing ..lol
Thank you again, I dont seem to get many responses to my post so it is great to finally get some answers =)

hi, i think you'll find half the people on her are on Lexapro, lol, have you looked through the forum? there are A LOT of posts on lexapro and all the great and bad things it does, myself, i have been on it now for 4 months for extreamly bad anxiety attacks panic attacks and globus hystericus, and since i went on it, i am fine! perfect! i have rarely felt better in my life and honestly ill dread the day my doctor says i have to go off it now! lol i think if you feel so bad and its effecting your life ten its time for medication, having said that for the first month or so i had terrible headaches i still have very bad dizzy spells and if i miss my meds by just a few hours i get killer headaches! so think about how much you need them they are great but only as a last resort, Plus just to say a few people on here have had bad side effects that they just couldn't handle and made them worse, in my case this never happened, just no you have support here and if you feel bad or need to talk just post, poeple here have always made me feel welcome...
