> Well, I have to say that I am very impressed. So far, my depression has lifted, I have a ton of energy (so much I dont know what do with it all), my anxiety and panic attacks are gone, my gad has gotten way better, and I'm sleeping good again. I feel great, and have no side effects at all. I'm very surprised by this b/c I've been on celexa, paxil, and effexor xr with no luck, they just made my anxiety/depression worse, and had terrible side effects. The lexapro has helped me so much, but I'm almost worried if feeling this good, this soon is normal. It's been 2 weeks and I feel GREAT!!! I have such an increase in energy all I want to do is cook and clean and go go go!! I'm happier, and everyone around me is like WOW!! It's only been 2 weeks and you are totally different. My 2 year old cant even keep up with me I feel so energetic!! I'm in the best mood I've beeen in for a LONG time. Will this last? I hope so. I dont want to be depressed and so anxious w/ panic attacks that I cant leave my house again for 3 months. I'm very happy with the results, but I am wondering if it is normal to feel this good, this fast? Every other drug I've taken for my panic disorder/gad/depression didnt make me feel any better, and if it did work even a little bit, it still took about a month before it kicked in. Gosh, I feel like I've taken speed or something! Could it be that I've been down in the dumps for soo long that I dont remember what it feels like to feel good again, and the medicine really is a wonder drug, or is something wrong with this picture? Any way, I feel GREAT, and any input would be GREATLY appreciated!! I feel like I could ramble on and on and on, but I'll close here! Thanks!
> BrandyBrandy, that is great news! I have been on Lexapro for 8 weeks now, and just want to warn you, that if you experience what feels like a little "relapse" in week 3 or 4, don't be surprised, just stick with it! My first two weeks were great, then week 3 not so great, week four some good days and bad days, but I kept taking it, and everything evened out by week 5 and has been great ever since. I agree - I think it's a miracle drug!
