John, is it possible that your wife may have issues or worries that she doesn't burden you with? She sounds like a happy and well-adjusted person who will be able to decide whether or not the Lexapro is working for whatever reason it was given. I think it is charming that you are so protective of her.
Good luck, Kim
> John, If it turns out that your wife does want to give it a try, the Lexapro won't hurt her permanently. There is certainly no evidence of these drugs doing long term harm and they have been around for many years (SSRI's since 1989).

That way, women with pms or depression who don't want people to know they take Prozac can say they take Sarafram.
