Escitalopram
generalized anxiety disorde
"I've been taking Lexapro for about 5 months now. They started me at 10 mg and three months ago bumped me up to 20 mg. I've struggled with chronic depression for about five or six years now. Used to be a self harmer but with Lexapro things don't trigger me as much as they used to. Today I missed a dose and honestly feel like totally poop so I was just looking to see if that's normal. Feel kinda suicidal because I didn't take it today but that's pretty normal anyways. I feel like Lexapro is not really a crutch as much as something like Xanax is. I have a prescription for Xanax as well. Would recommend Xanax for anxiety. But I have depression and anxiety, so I need both. Hope this helps. Would definitely recommend Lexapro. I feel tons better."
