anxiety attacks

I took Lexapro for about a year, and for me it didn't do much for my anxiety and depression. Actually, I felt like I couldn't express emotions at all... even though I was feeling depressed, I couldn't express it and just get it out. It would all well up inside me until one day a small stupid thing would make it all come rushing out in a big messy anxiety attack. Although it didn't help me with that, it did help me lose weight. One of the more tolerable side-effects. I tend to eat when I'm stressed and it helped me to assess whether I was eating because I was hungry or just because I was stressed or bored. And it helped me to stop. So emotionally for me it was bad. Weight-loss wise, it was awesome.
