This helped me overcome my depression.
Working / Worked
When I was experiencing my major depression and was hospitalized for distructive behavior, this drug really helped me get my mood up and I didnt experience any bad side effects. I was happy with it. I was able to eventually get off it b/c m depression went away.

Part of the antidepression bipolar medication I'm currently using and have been for several years. Reduced dosage from 40 to 30 mg.
Working / Worked
Currently taking 40 mgs and it seems to be working better than most have. Like most of us I have to cycle around since eventually most meds stop working. Dr. gives me samples and drug co. said they would not being giving as many samples anymore. This means I will probably have to choose another AD since my Rx insurance copay on Lexapro is high.

I am currently on Cipralex and it seems to be working.
Working / Worked
it worked for me but my husband and I want to have a baby when I lose some weight and it's not safe to take while i'm pregnant.
