Well if I was on prozac I think I could respond more accurately to your post.
I am on Lexapro and following is a list of the benefits I have experienced:
1. My insomnia, which I have suffered most of adult life has been CURED! I sleep soundly through the nite and fall asleep easily and quickly.
2. I have lost 10lbs. and feel GREAT at this weight, about what I weighed in high school.
3. No more PMS - I felt a little grumpy this last period, but NOTHING like it used to be.
4. No more STUPID fights about insignificant things w/husband, I used to go off on him almost daily.
5. No more road rage, used to be a constant problem, suprised I am not dead or seriously hurt as I was a BAD ANGRY driver!
6. Depression in check, can get up in the morning and go to work without thinking about calling in.
So far I have not experienced anything detrimental that would make me consider going back to the way I was. Had a physical last month, and everything was good, no problems.
As for side effects, I had most of them and spent week 2 in bed, but they ALL went away.
Your post was informative, but I really did not find anything in there that would make me quit Lex at this time.
Best of luck!~~~8|8
