Customer reviews about Lexapro

I'll not describe all that happened to me. The “last straw” was my cousin’s death. I could not work, sleep, eat, love, laugh. Lexapro was the gift, the 2nd chance to learn: life’s going on!

Randall, 35 (San Antonio)

Depression started ruining all what I have. Why I felt the saddest woman? A mystery. When I started using Lexapro, everybody saw I can smile. Me today and Sanrda last year are 2 different women.

Sandra, 30 (Masa)

My dr. told me I had a depression and prescribed this cool stuff. It works as nothing seems “gray” to me — neither NY, nor my life that has really changed for good since I started using Lexapro.

Ronnie, 42 (New York)

I did not guess that someday melancholy will lead me to taking antidepressants. When it seems that you are walking along a tunnel, the dark one, with no lights… Lexapro helped me getting rid of this state.

Jacob, 47 (Chico)

Last year my spouse passed away. I felt I would better die than live as I do. Thank you, Sandra (my friend) for recommending me Lexapro. When this stuff was prescribed, my sad thoughts simply vanished!

Nancy, 59 (Galveston)

Those who know what panic attacks are will understand me. Each time I felt I was dying I thought: who’ll care of my kids? Only Lexapro helped me stopping this nightmare, and I heel healthy and ready to live again.

Brenda, 39 (Durango)

I use this stuff for 8 months. Honestly I was scared it would “kill” my libido. It did not happen: I am still sexually active plus I forgot about sad thought.

Corey, 40 (Dallas)
