"i have had bipolar since i was 10 years old and lexapro is the only medicine that helps me. if it wasn&#039;t for lexapro i wouldn&#039;t have my three wonderful kids and a good man in my life. i&#039;m only 22 and out of the 12 years i&#039;ve been taking medicines lexapro is the only one that has helped me. the other ones make me meaner then me being off my medicines."
