depression
"I've been on 10mg of Lexapro daily since mid 2007 for major recurrent depression.  It's worked for me so far.  The side effects are not something I like, but when I speak with my doctors (military doctors) all they've told me is "It's your choice, you can be fat and happy or skinny and depressed.  Which one do you want?"  Since being on it I've gained 50lbs that I can't shed that slowly creeps up over time.  My sex drive is non-existent, difficult to climax or it's unsatisfying.  If I forget to take my medicines for a few days my mood swings to grouchy, snappy, and short tempered.  On a bonus note, my doctors kept me on Lexapro during pregnancy/breastfeeding and my baby had NO issues, perfectly healthy."
