Mega Dittos! I feel about lexapro as does the NRA about guns: You can take it from me but you will have to pry it from my cold, dead hand. The side effects were a PITA, it's true. To be be myself again for the first time in years, it was a very tiny and temporary bill to pay. Take away my lex? I don't think I'd go postal if you tried it but you'd get a battle.

> 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
