I think in your case if you are concerned about what medication you should be on, a good thing to do might be to talk to your relatives who have also been on SSRIs and ask them how the med worked for them...being that you are biologically similar to them, the way they reacted to the med should be a good indicator of how you will react long-term..for me i know celexa worked very well for me so i am pretty confident that lexapro will too...
im not at all well informed on meds that are not SSRIs...but i am of the opinion that when dealing with any type of med it is best to give it time before switching to something else..esp. since these meds take so long to work..
> I guess I'm just a little worried about being on the wrong medication. Someone mentioned in that post that they should be on an anti-psychotic. I feel like Lexapro is taking the edge off, but the thoughts are still there. I know Lexapro isn't a magic pill, so I don't expect results over night. I'm finding it easier to work now and do everyday things, so that is really helping. At least I'm able to get out of bed now!
