anxiety
"I started taking this medicine about 4 months ago when I was dealing with a very hard breakup and suffering from panic attacks. My resistance to stress was at rock bottom when I started taking Lexapro and it stopped my panic attacks immediately. I realized I'd been dealing with anxiety my whole life and had just thought it was normal and a part of my basic personality. The side effects at first were difficulty sleeping and a lack of appetite.  The longer I've been on this medication the more "even" I have felt...able to handle stress but still be myself.  I'm so much more comfortable in social situations and all of my obsessive worrying is gone. Sleep and appetite are normal now. Still feel emotions but don't lose control."
