> Thanks Mariposa, but I have been reading past stuff at least that which I find using the searcH engine and it all is negative except for some very short posts. With all the specifics on negatives it would be good to know the positives. But I suppose if it really works, I wouldn't be spending much time here! Thats what happened with the WB. I was here lots while I was experiencing problems and then when it worked, I was gone, though I did do a post to let people know. Any help for this one is much appreciate.
What has Lexapro done for me???
1. No more road rage - it was a BIG problem before.
2. No more insomnia - I was miserable befor, never sleeping well, now I sleep soundly through the night. Do not wake at 3AM and stare at clock until alarm goes off like I used to.
3. PMS almost non-existent - I was a raging BITCH 2-3 weeks a month, got into lots of stupid fights over insignificant things w/hubby, got customer complaints and write ups at work, but not since starting Lex.
4. I lost 10lbs! Needed to come off as I was overweight.
5. Depression - in check, do not wake in the morning and think about calling in first thing. I can get up and go to work without extreme effort.I would say that's pretty good!!!~~~8|8
