I was always anxious, but wasn’t diagnosed until age 34 (8 years). Immediately after taking lexapro, my life became enjoyable for the first time. I use to exercise everyday, and I couldn’t sleep.

I may have PTSD since I was in a car accident in 2003 and I get so freaking scared when I’m in a passenger seat-and I’m not driving the car. Anyone that knows me will tell you that I go way over board when they come to a stop sign or a stop light-I try to push myself away from the dashboard. I hate being a passenger in a car.
