It truly did. I never wanted to take meds in the first place, but I got to a point, 2 years ago, where I was either going to be medicated, or I was going to be committed. Seriously. My anxiety was through the roof, and my panic attacks were so violent that they even terrified my poor boyfriend.
Within... oh, I don't know, maybe a month?... I felt a hundred times better. I mean, not even normal - BETTER than normal. I've dealt with anxiety problems for so long that I didn't even realize how it was affecting certain areas of my life. Before I went on Lexapro, I couldn't even sit down and knit or read a book, because my "lack of attention span" made it impossible. Now the static in my head is calmed down enough that I can whip out sweaters and read novels, and I'm tickled. 
Hang in there, keep taking the meds, tough out the side effects. It's all worth it.
