depression
"I've been on Lexapro for about 2 weeks now. My mom and dad are going through a horrible divorce and I plunged into a deep depression. I hardly ever speak with my mom now and I distanced myself from friends/family. I stopped hanging out and I felt like I was in complete isolation. My doctor suggested that I try Lexapro for 6 months to a year. This is a life saver. I started feeling better within the first week of taking it. I'm starting to feel like my old self once again. I was warned by my doctor that it almost always causes fatigue (which it did) but that was easily solved by taking it before bed. The only other side effect I'm experiencing is loss of appetite. I love this medicine and would recommend it to others!"
