i would like to know the effectiveness of it maybe even a few details
I took Lexapro for over a year, and it took a long time for the MD to get my dosage right, but that could have just been my experience with it. Yes, it does help with anxiety and depression, especially panic attacks. You just start to feel very...level, like all the things that used to bother you don't matter anymore. I felt kind of dislocated, disjointed sometimes, and it seemed to affect my balance for some reason, but other than that, it really helped. It did not affect my sex drive like some antidepressants do, if anything it helped me to relax enough to enjoy sex. It is an SSRI, which means it affects your serotonin levels, and is not a medication you want to mess with without your MD advice. It didn't take as long for the effects to kick in either, compared to some on the market which take four to six weeks before they begin working. I will also say that it is probably not something your MD will keep you on for very long. I got the impression that it is more for short duration depression and anxiety. Good luck and I hope I helped you out. I have taken it and my symptoms improved then came back so they increased my dosage and my symptoms still returned. I had no side effects but now I take effexor and it works much better for me. It gave me insomnia, I had to break 'em in half and take 5mgs instead of ten. It did help my moods at 5mgs and the insomnia/hyper feeling went away. pys_pad>'s Profile" href="/my/profile;_ylt=Aiw8V6UJcn37Il2QvfQbDb7txQt.?show=AA11756607"> by
