"i&#039;ve tried almost every antidepressant. i read the reviews on lexapro and was prepared for a rough introductory period. i was pleasantly surprised that i felt better than ever...not suicidal, no general anxiety issues, i even felt like i could stand up for myself and not be a doormat. but after the first 6 weeks, i started feeling numb in my heart (you know, no true emotions) and became a cold, mean person. not to mention the sexual side effects, making it even harder on my marriage. i&#039;ve backed off of it now to try yet another pill, so i&#039;m suicidal and severely anxious and depressed again, but i haven&#039;t felt any other emotions yet."
