I think this drug is a life saver for many who would of been at the end of me whacking them if I hadn't went on this medicine.
Pros
This medicine helps if you have hostility with your depression
Cons
If you go off you will have like dts an the outcomes can be really badly you have to taper off you can't just stop taking this . You have to be weaned.
This has been a good drug for me. I am other meds as well, so it is hard for me to tell specifically if this is working. But, I have no intentions of being off of it.
Pros
I believe it is helping to stablize my emotions and is helping to keep me from being suicidal.
I tend to get really depressed of little things in life…Which at time did not seem so LITTLE. For short periods I have taken lexapro and I do not notice no change in "me" but every one around me seems to see a different person. I tend to be happier in all forms of life..
Pros
makes life easier to deal with. people around you very greatful for the person you usually are. Makes life easier to cope with

Consbeing on a pill for mental stability sucks
I used to fly of the handle for now what seems to be no reason. This has not happened since I started Lexapro
ProsIt makes the little things little again. When you do get a bit out of shape you do not stay that way for long.
ConsI personally do not have any
Takes the "edge" off your stress level. Started taking because stress was spiking my blood sugar. I take at night and it doubles as a sleep aide.
ConsI don't get as emotional, sometimes I think it numbs me a little.
