I've heard that from other people I know that took Lexapro before. It's also been reported that Lexapro can lead to suicide. It helped me though, a lot of people started calling me LexaJoe after I started taking it b/c it did so many good things for me. I guess I was lucky in that the first one prescribed to me worked. I've heard bad things about Paxil also, a friend of mine takes it and he can't get off of it, even by tapering off of it.
