Yes, I take it every day. They usually start with a low dose because it is a good strong medication. I am actually at 25mg a day and usually the starting dose is 5mg or 10mg.
It takes about 5 days to start working. The first few days you feel pretty crazy. Really, it is like your anxiety hits a all time high.
After the first few days things level out and I felt good. It works well in general. The one thing i DO LIKE about Lexapro is that it is one of the most safer type of medications that you can take other meds with. There are very few medications that you can NOT take with it and I like not having to worry about that.
