i won't tell you it'll definitely work for you, because everybody's different and what works for one person won't work for everyone, but for me, lexapro literally changed my whole life. i had been depressed since i was like 11 and like, i still have depression, but i'm not depressed all the time if that makes sense. i went from feeling like nothing on a good day and like the world would be a better place without me in it on a bad day... now most days i honestly feel good. i feel more motivation than i did before. i do things more, rather than just lying in bed and doing nothing. i still worry and i still get depressed, but not like i used to. the incredibly dark spirals are a rare occurrence now. i actually think the only time i've felt as bad as i used to was when i had a brief interaction with another medication. personally, i haven't experienced like any of the horrible side effects that many people experience. it literally has just been good all around for me. i started taking my prescription when i was 21, so five years ago, and it has enabled me to accomplish things i honest to god never could have imagined before i started it.
