[QUOTE="stressedmama, post: 699879, member: 18412"] About a year ago I went to my gyno for my annual exam. I was in the throws of what I believed to be peri-menopause. My emotions were uncontrollable. I would get so depressed and the next day I would be so angry I wanted to throw my computer across the room. My stress levels were extremely high, which didn't help. She started me on Lexipro 10mg (I don't tolerate medications well so she started me low). I couldn't stand myself. She said it would take a couple weeks to feel the effects but I'm telling you, within a couple days I felt like a whole new person! I take it every night before bed so I don't feel any side effects and I thank God for it! I have not experienced any lack in affect being on it. I have a normal range of emotions. I have gained a few pounds but nothing serious and if I had the desire, I could most certainly lose the extra weight pretty easily. But I've decided at my age, I don't care so much that I have a little bit of a belly :-) Hope it works out for your son! [/QUOTE]
