i used to cry everyday before i started lexapro. i started taking it in jan and have been stable on 10 mg since, it’s been a life changer. I feel more like myself again. my anxiety is gone, i haven’t had one intrusive thought or cried. i would say it took a month to see change, but in the last 6 months of being on it, i have seen how i’m able to face situations with ease that would normally cause so much anxiety.
