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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
