Since I was sitting here killin time I did read the other posts and realize now that Lexapro is no one pill wonder! Thats what I thought. It seems ironic that almost every single person on in this forum with some sort of drug abuse problem also has high anxiety levels. Has this issue occurred to anyone else. It's not just the d/ts either... I've talked to several people on here and they have had severe anxiety issues way before the drug issues. Almost as is the drug addiction was to help cure the anxiety? There has got to be some medication out there that can be prescribed in combination with counseling for this problem... it is my guess that better of 70 percent of americans suffer from anxiety and have no treatment or options for it, such as no medical insurance and etc. This is truly alarming guys.

Hey gal... I've been out of town for a few days and havn't checked online for any messages but thought about you often and wondered how you were doing I am glad to hear about the flushing of the meds... I ain't sure about the lexapro either... I've tried to read everyones response but, dont really have time too... I've been told two different things and I'm curious of your opinion... 1) that it takes lexapro several weeks to become effective ( like zoloft, etc.) 2) that is works immediately for anxiety and restlessness??? What have you been able to tell?

I know this may sound really stupid.. but what is VAXA? lol.. I'm sorry, but I'm just slightly stupid today..

Lexapro takes at least three weeks to get your system. One pill won't do a darn thing.

Look at the products offered by VAXA. I had issues with depression, that I thought might be caused by my back pain and sought help. The Dr said that from testing I showed signs of ADD and prescribed Adderall. I know that I also have issues with anxiety and the Adderall helped but the products from VAXA helped just as well and are natural.
