"i loved lexapro, i had been on it for approximately 5 years.  it worked wonders, made me feel close to &quot;normal&quot;.  recently in the past 6 months i had gone through some life altering events and had noticed my depression was coming back more and more. i finally broke down and told my doctor (i thought the problem would correct itself) so, he changed me to pristq. i had a slight yawn while on lexapro and some sexual side effects but they were less than any other medication i had ever taken.  so when lexapro works it works great!  when it&#039;s run it&#039;s course, time to move on."
