"i&#039;m a healthy 36 year old male. the first and only anti-depressant i have taken. i&#039;m usually quite mellow but when i was going through a divorce, i needed something to calm me down. lexapro worked great, almost too good. i voluntarily cut back my dosage because i was too care free and avoided even making simple decisions. but the right dosage worked great for me. it also helped me with premature ejaculation, a condition i occasionally encountered. while my sex drive decreased, my confidence went way up. the only bad side effect i had was stomach discomfort when first starting the medicine, but subsides after a few weeks."
