[hazyworld]

I also took lexapro for approximately 2 years, then it stopped working. Went on prozac, then it stopped working. Now I'm back on lexapro, about 3 weeks now, the depression is lifting. I feel strange whenever I switch meds, but sometimes they lose their punch after a lot of time goes by. You will feel better soon. And you have the right attitude, the meds don't do it all for us. We have to participate in managing our symptoms. You're on the right track...GL...cat

I took Lex for two years and in that time it was Helpful.

(had to switch after that because it stopped working)

You will get the worst side effect for the first 6 weeks. After that it will be fine.
