Lexapro Success Stories: Can You Share Some?

Yes, I can. I know a person who had severe anxiety. After starting Lexapro, within a few weeks, they noticed a significant reduction in their panic attacks. They could start going out more and socializing without that overwhelming sense of dread. Lexapro helped them get their life back on track.

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.

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.

I started Lexapro 5mg because I had general anxiety disorder. It was really affecting my daily life. After just a few weeks on it, I could already see a difference. I was sleeping better, which was a huge plus as my anxiety used to keep me up at night. And I started to feel more at ease during the day. It's been a great help.

I started Lexapro to deal with my anxiety and panic attacks. In the beginning, I didn't notice much difference. But as I continued taking it as prescribed, things started to change. I became more calm and was able to face situations that previously would have sent me into a full - blown panic. For example, I used to be terrified of public speaking, but after being on Lexapro for a while, I was able to give a presentation at work without having a panic attack. It really has been a great help in improving my quality of life.

Lexapro has been a miracle for my OCD. I had tried other medications before with little success. But with Lexapro, I started seeing improvements within a month. The intrusive thoughts became less frequent, and I was able to resist the compulsions more easily. It didn't happen overnight, but gradually, I regained my confidence and was able to engage in social activities again without constantly being distracted by my OCD symptoms.

I was on Lexapro for a while and was really worried about discontinuing it. But I followed my doctor's advice and tapered off slowly. I had some mild side effects at first like a bit of dizziness, but they passed quickly. Now I feel great and am so glad I was able to successfully stop taking it. It's been months now and no signs of the old problems coming back.

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.

I had severe panic attacks before starting Lexapro 10 mg. After about a month on it, the frequency of my panic attacks reduced drastically. I used to have them at least three times a week, and now it's maybe once a month. It has given me back my confidence. I no longer fear going to public places or being in crowded situations.

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.
