Generalized Anxiety Disorde
"I was on Lexapro for a year and decided to come off because of weight gain. The weight gain was mostly the result of not really caring about working out and the food I was eating. I&#039;m sure that could be controlled with a little more willpower on my part.  Other than that this medicine saved my life. I have had several episodes of depression with significant anxiety. I tried other SSRIs and experienced terrible side effects, mainly increased anxiety and severe insomnia. While Lexapro did cause some increased anxiety for the first few days it was manageable and after about 7 weeks I felt great and back in control of my life. I have been off of it for 3 months and my symptoms are returning. So I am going back on it and plan to stay on it."
