What are some 'lexapro horror stories'?

One person had been on the verge of losing their job due to their inability to focus because of depression. After starting Lexapro, they regained their focus and were able to perform well at work again. They are now in a much better position at their job.

I've been on Lexapro 10 mg for a few months now. It really helped with my anxiety. Before starting it, I was constantly on edge, had trouble sleeping, and was overly worried about everything. But after a couple of weeks on Lexapro, I noticed a significant reduction in my anxiety levels. I can now focus better at work and enjoy my free time without that nagging sense of worry all the time.

There was a person in an OCD support group who shared their story. They had OCD - related hoarding tendencies. Lexapro helped them gain a new perspective. They started to realize that they didn't need to hold on to every single item. As the weeks passed, they were able to declutter their living space and lead a more normal life. It was a long process, but Lexapro was a key factor in their recovery.

One success story is about my friend. She was suffering from depression for a long time. When she started taking Lexapro 20 mg, it took some time for the full effects to kick in. But gradually, she regained her interest in things she used to love, like painting. Her energy levels increased, and she no longer had those bouts of extreme sadness. Lexapro 20 mg really helped her turn her life around and get back to being the happy person she once was.

I successfully tapered off Lexapro. I just did it very slowly, following my doctor's orders. It was not without some minor side effects like a bit of brain fog in the beginning, but they went away quickly. I'm now living a normal life without relying on Lexapro.

One good story is about a person who had been struggling with severe anxiety for years. After starting Lexapro, they noticed a gradual but significant improvement. They were able to go out in public without having panic attacks. They started going to social events, making new friends, and their overall quality of life improved. It was like a new chapter in their life had begun, all thanks to Lexapro.

My own experience with Lexapro 20 mg was a success. I had problems with panic attacks. They were really debilitating. Once I started on Lexapro 20 mg, the frequency of my panic attacks decreased. It gave me the confidence to go out and do things again, like going to the grocery store or meeting friends. It was a huge relief.

Yes. Some people on Lexapro experienced wild mood swings. They would go from being relatively calm to suddenly feeling very irritable for no apparent reason.

Some people in Lexapro weight loss stories said they noticed a decrease in appetite almost immediately. They just didn't feel as hungry as before starting the medication. So, they ate less and gradually lost weight.

One success story is that of my friend. He was on Lexapro for a while. When he decided to quit, he worked closely with his doctor. They tapered the dosage gradually. He had some minor withdrawal symptoms like mild dizziness at first, but with proper diet, exercise and lots of rest, he overcame them. Now he feels great and more like his old self without the need for the medication.
