I spoke to my siblings about this, and they said they felt suicidal but not necessarily homicidal. I wish that I could only think of hurting myself, that would make me feel so much better. I'm just afraid there is something else that I have that they don't.

> I think in your case if you are concerned about what medication you should be on, a good thing to do might be to talk to your relatives who have also been on SSRIs and ask them how the med worked for them...being that you are biologically similar to them, the way they reacted to the med should be a good indicator of how you will react long-term..for me i know celexa worked very well for me so i am pretty confident that lexapro will too...

I feel like Lexapro is taking the edge off, but the thoughts are still there. I know Lexapro isn't a magic pill, so I don't expect results over night. I'm finding it easier to work now and do everyday things, so that is really helping. At least I'm able to get out of bed now!
