Escitalopram
"I was put on Lexapro by my family doctor in May after experiencing chest pain and elevated blood pressure. Test were done to make sure I wasn't experiencing a heart attack before my doctor determined that stress was my issue.  For the first several weeks I had increased anxiety, loss of appetite and vivid dreams.  I was quite sure this medicine wasn't for me.  My doctor encouraged me to keep taking it and prescribed Ativan to help me get through some rough days.  After being on Lexapro for 8 months now, I can honestly say I feel better than I have for years! I had no idea how much anxiety I had until it went away.  I'm so thankful for this medicine and for my doctor who encouraged me to try it."
