My therapist has just put me on Lexapro (anxiety and depression). Is anyone on it that can tell me if/how it's helped them?

i have been on for about 5 weeks. i was on cymbalta before that and cymbalta's side effects were horrible. i haven't experienced any side effects from lexapro. i was put on for anxiety and depression. the anxiety is pretty much gone, but the depression is still there...i'm going to see how it goes. i was on celexa awhile ago (which is similar to lexapro) and it really worked. good luck!

It for a little while, then it sort of wore off and I went on CCymbalta...much better! Everyone is different in how the will react to medications. just give it a chance and if it doesn't seem to help after a month or so, talk to the doc again. ( anti-depressants take a few weeks to really get in your system and start working)

Lexapro caused major sexual side effects. I like Effexor XR much better - also helps with pain but better than cymbalta for GAD and depression.

I am Bipolar and on Lexipro. I have been on it for about two years now. For me it has been a miracle drug for depression. I still get a little bit blue sometimes but it has been the only drug that I have been on and I have been on a lot that has worked for me. Try it, it works different on all people but it is great for me.

Yes it has reduced my anxiety and depression greatly. The fears that I have/anxiety has been greatly reduced. Feel free to email me.

It worked fine until I started feeling sad again and the doctor put me on Wellbutrin.
