okay...my girlfriend who is 16 was just perscribed lexapro by her doc, and i was wondering if it's good for her to start it at such a young age. Also, he says she'll only have to take it for up to 12 months, and more likley 9, but from what i've heard she'll probably be on it for life. What is the truth here? I'm very concerned for her, and want what is best, but also, don't want her to become addicted at this young of an age. What are the probabilities of her becoming dependent on lexapro, or addicted to it? I'm worried taht when those 9 to 12 months have passed, she won't be allowed, or able to quit. Am I completley wrong, or at all justified in my worries?
