I’ve been on it a month and anxiety wise it’s really helped. I’ve had more better days in the last month than I’ve had in the last two years. That being said I have a hard time staying asleep at night, get head aches and am drowsy during the day. So I might need to switch to something else. But even if I didn’t have any other option I’d take the side effects over the anxiety any day! I feel hope!

I am 6 months postpartum so I have those symptoms as it is 😜 don’t they go away after being on it for a bit? But yes, would most definitely take those side effects over anxiety anyyyy day

@clamb Are your symptoms postpartum related or have you always had it?

Works well for me. My libido took a hit but it wasn’t too bad since I’m young

Yes! I’ve been on 10mg for about a month; I can’t say I feel fully better, but it has improved my anxiety. It can take several weeks to fully kick in with anxiety and OCD! Thinking of maybe upping it to 15mg for more relief ☺️

I've been on Lexapro for over a year now and it has definitely helped ease the obsessive thoughts.

New diagnosis
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?

Starting new anxiety meds
Hi everyone, I’m 23 and have been on Zoloft since I was 16. For the past couple months I’ve been having panic attacks more and I’m sick of feeling like a zombie everyday. My boyfriend said I’m very sad and unhappy then when I first met him 2 years ago…. He thinks it’s the medicine. Throughout the years I have upped and lowered my medication, but now, I feel as though it’s not helping. Either it was too much where I didn’t feel emotions at all like very scary stuff or it wasn’t enough to help me. I was given 5mg of Lexapro to try…. I’m scared to take it. All I know is how Zoloft is. I don’t want to go crazy on it, be allergic to it, etc. I feel like I’m going to trip myself out when I take it and not actually feel the difference. I could really use some positive feedback I really just want to be a normal human😭
