works wonders I may still be depressed and have alot of anxiety but the Lexapro helps me to control it.

very good works good

no side effects

Very good No side effects (although I went up in dose VERY slowly).
Actually they made me "slightly dworsy so I take them after dinner, whereas some take them in morning as they liven them up.

Tried many ssri's for depression and genral anxiety. Although, it has not fixed problems, it has been the best drug so far with no side effects really and starts working from day 10 on me and most I have talked to.

I also take a high dose of natural fish oil. Helps also. Exercise then helps more again (once the meds kick in)

Basically my experience, everyone is different, start off slow until you feel the desired effect. Dont just pop the amount you Dr says to. Ask an go slowly. I found 1 15mg per day works wonders. I buy 20mg ones and cut 1/4 off. (cheaper)

Great for depression, but.... DO NOT USE FOR MANIC DEPRESSION. Can make manic episodes worse.

I took lexapro when I was going through the worse time in my life.....diagnosis with a terminal disease. I just had given up. I was prescribed and took it with little faith. I had taken antidepressants in the past and had poor results. But LO AND BEHOLD...in only 3 days the crying stopped. By 2 weeks (the stated time that the manufacturer gives for the drug to start working) I felt 300% better.

DO CONSIDER THIS DRUG IF YOU ARE FEELING DEPRESSED.

On the downside, it DOES cause a slow steady weight gain. I know many patients with the same results.

It worked well for me... From fed up to happy in 2 weeks... yeah, good times and the best pasrt was after I stopped it 2 months latter i contiued to be happy... it made me a bit manic but not over the top and when i stopped it I cam back to normal... ya, it killed my deppresion well... side effect was tough to orgasm on the down side and on the up side it was realy easy to focus...

I LOVE LEXAPRO!!!! Before Lexapro, they had me on med after med. I was on Paxil, BuSpar, Prozac, Lithium, and Celexa.
Nothing worked for my Bipolar Disorder. But then, the heavens opened, and there was Lexapro. My shrink told me that it was a med that came from my old med, Celexa. I was sketchy at first, but then, I started taking it, and I had no side effects and after 4 weeks, it kicked in and i felt A-OKAY! I love Lexapro and if I could I would gladly shake the hand of the person who made it!
