Oldhand,
I have just begun on Lexapro, but I know as a psychotherapist that antidepressants are not designed for long-term use, only short-term use while a person is in therapy. I used Prozac and Buspar 15 years ago as I was a victim of repeated trauma as a child and adolescent and the repercussions hit me much later in life. I was only on these medications for 1 1/2 years and was in therapy twice a week for six months, then once a week for a year. I encourage you as one who has had to undergo extensive recovery for trauma, please seek to get into a support group and professional weekly therapy.
