I've been on Lexapro about 6 weeks. What a difference it's made! The meds did what I hoped they would do, they even me out. No more huge mood swings. I'm more relaxed and cheerful. Even the sexual side effects are beneficial, as I was a sex-addict before. I would get angry if I had to go longer than three days without sex, and project that my husband didn't love me. Now I'm just as happy to cuddle.And it helps the PMS, which was a most welcome discovery. I'm sure most of my improvement is due to the Jungian analysis I underwent over the last year, but the meds help keep the complexes from taking over. Yes, my dreams are pretty weird, and sometimes unpleasant, but if I'm not acting out of the unconscious in waking life all of that energy is naturally going to come in the dream state.
The only drawback is that I crave carbs, and have to pay even more attention to how I eat.
