I have found Lexapro helpful with depression and anxiety. For a little while I thought it was helping with the headache, but realized that it wasn't decreasing the pain, but with a decrease in depression and anxiety, the headache bugged me less. I sometimes joke "I love my Lexapro. I'm still miserable, but at least I'm happy about it!"

It is easier to focus and concentrate, and take the time I need to function more effectively. Not because the symptoms are alleviated, but because I am not anxious and upset, and am better able to control my emotions and thereby not allow my situation to stress me out, or at least reduce how much it does.

I hope you feel better soon and that Lexapro does help you the way it has helped me.
