my daughter has been on lexapro for 2 years and it has nearly destroyed her. i have been investigating this drug and this is one thing i found.....* June 26, 2004 Lawsuits are starting. Lexapro manufacture, Forrest Laboratories, has stated recently concluded test found that it's antidepressant Lexapro did not help depressed children. Negative and hidden clinical trials on Celexa from Europe are being disclosed at the moment. Lexapro is designed from Celexa. The best Forrest Labs could do in Europe to even run their trials for Celexa was to use H. Lundbeck, the Danish company that developed Celexa.
If your child was prescribed Lexapro or you were prescribed Lexapro while under the age of 18 and there were adverse reactions, you may wish to file a lawsuit.
this is from this website http://www.prozactruth.com/lexapro.htm#sideeffectsthere is also alot of feedback from people who have used lexapro...you should check it out and have your girlfriend read it as well. if her doctor is wise enough to work through her depression without drugs i would recommend doing that first... lexapro has serious side effects and is certainly NOT for situational depression.
good for you for caring enough to check things out...i trusted my daughter with doctors when i shouldn't have...i have changed her doctor and he is getting her off the meds ...it will be a long hard road but finally the right one...learning coping skills. she has been on and off meds for almost 20 years and misdiagnosed for them all..anyway check out the website and good luck!!
