It was prescribe for relief of depression and migraines.

Here's the litany of negative experiences with anti-depressants, starting in 1995 and proceeding to the present with Lexapro:

Prozac - Initial relief, then increased depression, fatigue
Zoloft - No change in depression
Zoloft + Wellbutrin - No change in depression
Paxil - Initial relief, then severe depression,
alcohol relapse
Wellbutrin + Neurontin - Alcohol rehab, no change in depression
Desipramine - No change in depression
Desipramine + Buspar - Increased depression, increased Migraines, nightmares
Celexa - Initial relief, then increased depression, fatigue
Effexor - Increased depression, extreme illness, fatigue
Prozac + Lithium - Increased depression, illness, extreme confusion
Amytriptaline - Increased depression, fatigue
Serzone - Initial relief, then increased depression, fatigue
Serzone + Wellbutrin - Increased depression, exhaustion, illness, alcohol binging
Lexapro - Initial discomfort (night sweats, anxiety, headaches) then nothing

As you can see, I've had no luck at all with medications.

I've been told that I must "keep trying" and that I "WILL" find the right medication. Maybe, maybe not. The one certain thing is that I've been lining the pockets of the drug industry and behavioural health folks for the last eight years, and they haven't done a damn thing for me in return.

At the moment, it looks as though Lexapro is just another con.
