"this is a great drug.  i had battled depression my entire adult life and after a year of completely changing my diet, supplements, routine and seeing several counsellors i finally gave this a try.  it changed my life.  i can&#039;t believe i waited so long.  i used to spin in a tizzy over things.  i now realize i have control and stay calm.

unfortunately i experienced many side effects with lexapro.  i had nausea in the beginning, shortness of breath and fatigue.  i did not gain weight, which i was grateful for.  

ultimately i switched to prozac because this made me too tired, but i would recommend this over prozac for most people because it supposedly has less side effects (though not for me)."
