SmokinBabyJesus, based on my personal experiences, I would recommend taking against taking Lexapro. I took Lexapro for two separate periods of time in my life, and it essential did nothing positive for depression or anxiety... besides seemingly heighten it.

Side effects were a bitch.

Coming off of it was even worse.

Like DrCamacho89 stated, taking medication is a descision for you and your doctor to take, but if I had it other way, I would have never allowed those damn Lexapro pills to enter my esophagus. What are you taking it for?

For me, it was caring too much and over ambition. I started concentrating on every shitty thing that kept happening to me, and because of it I could see my longterm goals getting away from me. I then made every attempt to "control" my situation, work harder, keep busting through, but there came a point when my brain wouldn't let me. The spiral had gotten too deep, and I could no longer think logically, precisely, in order, within reason. I had become sick.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do...

i was prescribed lexapro today. a small amount (5mg). i have been seeing a psychologist and a MD for sleep disorders and high blood pressure associated with stress, depression and anxiety. my doctor said she does not like giving medication for things like this but that she has seen lexapro help with the panic attacks people like me have. she said for major depression symptoms lexapro can help but when treatment is stopped, about 85% of people relapse.

i am also taking ambien for the nights i feel to depressed to fall asleep. there is nothing i can attribute it to. my baseline and normal mood is kind of zombielike. i often find myself blurring my eyes and just shutting off my brain. coupled with random adrenaline rushing, heart fluttering, panic attacks, my body feels like road kill. i have been eating healthy and thanks to the ambien getting a good 8 hours of sleep almost every night. i've been following behavioral advice from my psychologist. but my mood swings have just been too much. my constant drumming headaches and anxiousness towards people in general makes me feel awful.

i just want to have a normal baseline mood. i don't want to be happy all the time. i just want to not have this underlying sinking feeling all the time. any way, i guess i'll report in the weeks to come.
