This has almost eliminated my shoulder and neck pain due to fibromyalgia. I am so thankful for it. Prescribed by my rheumatologist.

I love Lexapro. I was taking Savella before and had to stop due to side effects. Now I'm on Lexapro and I love it. It takes away 95% of my pain and takes away my depression and anxiety at the same time. It's amazing.

Lexapro has helped me so much. It's great! This is coming from a person who has tried nearly every treatment available for relief of my fibromyalgia.

I went off of Lexapro and couldn't walk, and the pain was awful. I got right back on it, and I feel like I will live!

I started with Lexapro about 2 years ago. I was angry at everyone. Someone walking down the street, someone in a car, people I didn't know let alone my family. I was in pain, working, doing what you have to do and I was mad. This was a great medicine for me. I take many other medicines but this is one I wouldn't want to give up.

So far so good. I've been taking it combined with Neurontin and I feel great! I tell my husband how happy he makes me everyday...my happy feeling is back. Although I have bad days with Fibro but I no longer have bad weeks.

This is NOT working for me. My fibromyalgia symptoms are back; I am experiencing a lot of discomfort. I am calling my doctor today to request a switch. I was on Cymbalta. My fibromyalgia symptoms were gone with that but unfortunately I experienced sweating, like hot flashes. Don't have that with Lexapro but this joint/muscle discomfort is too uncomfortable!
