"i&#039;m 27 years old and have been on lexapro for about 2 1/2 years now. it has really saved my life. i fought depression and anger problems for most of my life. i tried all kinds of other medicines and nothing helped. i went through a really bad divorce about three years ago and got very depressed. i never really knew how i was treating people until i started taking lexapro and getting better. i felt good about my life. lexapro saved my life when i thought there was hope. i&#039;m so thankful. the only side effect i&#039;ve had is a little weight gain. i don&#039;t like the weight gain but i wouldn&#039;t give up lexapro for anything."
