"seems like the whole world is on antidepressants these days.  docs doling them like candy. i was on a low dose of lexapro for years and finally got off of it (which wasn&#039;t a pleasant experience either) i might add. i had gained 20 lbs, was exhausted with no energy a mandatory 2 hr afternoon nap,  oh yeah and it zaps your libido! all things to consider. i&#039;ve switched to wellbutrin and seem to have much less side effects."
