I've been on Lexapro for 11 months, 20 mg for 9 months. It seems to be working as far as I can tell. I need the Risperdal to keep the mood stable. I seem to get depressed without it. The Lexapro is not enough. It is hard fighting depression when there are children to care for. When I went through the major depression I couldn't even care for my 5. They were on their own. I was so out of it that I couldn't even function. That was probably why I ended up in the hospital twice. I'm doing much better now and can care for the family. I am a teacher but am unable to teach at this time. I have gained 50 pounds while on this medication and feel quite dazed. I hope one day that I will be able to taper off the meds and get back to my old self. Thanks for being there. I need someone to "talk" to as well.
