Hi Shay, first of all happy lexapro users are not going to wake up and decide to search for this board. Anyone who comes to any kind of board like this is hurting in some way. When they get here they either get better and leave, or they change meds and leave or maybe they just give up and leave. Ive been coming to this board for 6 or 7 months. Why do I stay, I have my reasons!!! When I got here I was suicidal, housebound, afraid to be alone, could not drive, I was shaking, I had tremors, muscle pain, muscle spasms, I cried at one point 70 days in a row. I could keep going, I suffered from panic, anxiety and depression. Lexapro was my 3rd med and I really did not want to take it. I started at 5mg and went down to 2.5mg and then back up to 5mg. You start at what makes you comfortable. Does not matter how fast you get there as long as you get there and thats my opinion. Since you posted I think you have seen some happy stories from others. To me my recovery is a miracle!!!!!!! Lexapro wiped out my panic, my anxiety and my depression. My problem now is just moving on and trying to forget those memories of the hell I lived through. I probably go to way to many boards. Im beginning to wonder if this is good or bad because it keeps my memories alive like it was yesterday. You came to this board for a reason. I think that reason was because you dont like the way you feel. Can lexapro make you better, the answer is yes!!! Is it the right med for you, no one knows!!! You have nothing to lose by trying!!! Doesnt work you try something else or live like you have!! I wish you luck!!!!!!!! TAKE CARE!!!!!!!
