I love Lexapro, it's fixed so many things for me. just taken the edge off of my anxiety and depression enough that all my other coping mechanisms actually help now.

I had to go through nearly every available ssri and antidepressant before i found one that actually works for me. Going on and off of them is ROUGH.

I had to try different ones and go through side effects as bad as suic. I finally found the one that works best for me which is actually lexapro. I’m off my meds rn and have been for about two weeks (not by choice) but yeah withdrawls are very bad and taking it one day but not the next will not be good.

thank you for that. Wow you are strong. Are you just staying off of them now? Did you taper? I've heard if you don't withdraws are so bad. So the neds made you suicidal? These meds can be so crazy. Good job for not giving up.

It takes a while to get used but definitely worth it
