I have been on Lexepro since my husband died nearly four years ago now. I am feeling as if I am moving on but still get very down in the depths, though I can now pull myself up. This drug has been brilliant in allowing me to cope and also to still FEEL......has anyone else had experience of this med - can you take it for EVER? I would like to....!
Thanks for any thoughts on this....

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
