JCL710 (Anxiety)
Was on Lexapro for about 5 years, I always thought it worked very well for me. But because of the high cost I switched to a generic for Celexa, which was supposed to be very similar. I suspect it isn't working as well, however.

This appears to be working well and my system tolerates very well.

Started it a month ago, initial boost but wore off fast. quit Sept 5/2012 not effective
I do not quite understand this one but before I was on Lexapro I had no periods. I went on Lexapro for depression and now I am close to regular most of the time.

This has worked well for me in the past. I am still on it, but it does not seem to be enough now.

THis is mostly working for me, but I still have social anxiety along with some chronic health issues that keep me chained to the house. I have frequent insomnia. wake at 3am and cannot return to sleep.

Worked in the past, but lack of insurance resulted in me stopping and switching medications.

This one is still in the air... I tried it once, it made it worse. Now I am on the lowest dose, cut it in half and am building up my tolerance. It helped 5 years ago so Im hoping with this route it will help again.
