Anyone find antidepressants helpful, and any experience with Lexapro in general? Any bad side effects? The benefits?

Hi Sugahrae.

First I wanted to say, I appreciate your hug. I think we have a lot of similarities in our situation. I went on Lexapro 3 months ago. After I found about his 2nd affair. I think I had been depressed for a LONG time. I only had some sexual side effects and actually lost a few pounds. I am feeling good now. Hope this helps for you.

i have been on lexapro about a year. i was on wellbutrin before that. that had no sexual side effects, but didnt work on the anxiety that i had. lexapro works on both. lexapro, for me did have some sexual side effects. but they seem to lesson as time goes by. or maybe i worry so that i wont be able to orgasm while taking it that i cant. i went off it in august and by the end of october, i was so sad, suicidal, my family said go back on or we will have you committed. within a month i thought, i will never go off of these again. of course i gained a few pounds, but at least i am on this side of the grass!

I was on anti depressants before I found out about the affair because I have clinical depression. I think it definitely kept my emotions in check and let me be rational. I actually missed a pill one day and turned into a screaming, crying wreck. My husband is lucky I was on the pills because I would have been really mean and crazy without them! lol

    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...
