I REMEMBER THAT DRUG!! teehee. Actually, I know it by that term, and not it's "American" name, Lexapro. (If you're looking for information, you're likely to get more "hits" on information for searching it by "Lexapro")

It worked well. My first antidepressant. Got off of it when I gained a lot of weight... but it DID work. Symptoms at the beginning made me unhappy... verrrrrrrrrrrrry unhappy. But I was on it for a long time after the introductory effects wore off.

DO NOT NOT NOT drink alcohol and take this. I had one drink, felt like four or five and like I was dying... Never again. Gave up alcohol permanently anyhow...

It's supposed to be "weight neutral" (varies from person to person) but it does work pretty well as an antidepressant for a lot of people.
