> Hi, has anyone taken Lexapro for OCD? If so, did it help?
Yes and yes. Let me explain further. I would obsess over health issues, looking through books, searching the web and literally driving myself (and others) crazy. The condition brought on depression and anxiety for me to the point where I just broke down and had to seek help. I'm glad I did. I have not searched the web for any symptoms I was having since the early stages of Lex. I have looked in my medical book but only once and forgot my problem soon after. Yes, I have improved and hope to continue doing so. I cannot go back to worrying about every little ache or pain. I dont mean just a little worry, I mean waking up with dread and going to bed with dread that I had some terrible life threatening illness. Not a good feeling. I hope that this helps. Sorry that I got a little long winded but Lex has helped me to develop a "gift of gab". Let me know how you are doing. Mrs. C
