Answer 1

I was and yes I did feel more relaxed and did do things I didn't do before. I would talk to your doctor about the impulse for buying things. That might be a side affect from the medication. But they do work. I was on 20 mg. I don't take them any more. I still do everything I did when I was on them.

Answer 2

I was on lexapro but I found the answer.

What I find really helpful to have a relaxed stress and anxiety free day is to drink a good quantity of alcohol. Have a few good swigs in the morning, take a hip flask with you when you go out, or go to work, and then get stuck into the booze in the late afternoon. It really gives you a good nights sleep and when you wake up feeling a bit fuzzy the next morning a few good swigs will set you up for another good stress free day. I’m having a ball and doing really well with my studies at Uni and part time work

Answer 3

I have been but you should ask your doctor for something different as these made me hallucinate and I lost loads of sleep. I would recommend speaking to the NHS helpline as they will give you other options.

Also when I was Lexapro my friends told me I looked ill. I hope I am of some help to you and you do find some tablets that work. I am off of all my tablets now as I am a mum and I am expecting again so if you have any way of having children they help aswell. ( I don't know how but it helps me loads!!)

Good Luck

Answer 4
