Thanks all, Step, Lexapro worked great for me too, the best, Prozac didn't work. But (at that time anyway, maybe this has changed??) Lexapro was not generic so once my insurance stopped I switched to Paxil which was ok too, not as good as lexapro. What I found interesting was that I had been on it so long that I didn't realize until I was off of it how much better I felt off of the medication. Maybe that was because by that time I truly didn't need it? It was not the emotional part, it was that I had a ton more energy, I could exercise and lose weight, I just felt much much better. If I could handle this in any way other than medications I would chose that first. But if I need medications I will take them, I wont risk the big picture over a little energy drain from medications.
