"lexapro is awesome.  before lexapro i would overthink about everything.  when i was in a relationship i would just think and think and think about if they were cheating, if i was too ugly, if they were thinking about leaving me blah blah blah.  i would just feel really stressed out and would cry a lot.  now i feel fabulous.  the only negative is it makes me pee in the middle of the night- so annoying and i want to make out with strangers less often.  i haven&#039;t gained weight but haven&#039;t lost any either.   at first this medicine gave me wicked insomnia but now i take it first thing in the morning.  good luck!  remember being sad isn&#039;t necessary and most people who talk bad about being on antidepressants spend hours at the bar."
