I don't want to scare you since this is a rare side effect (and could be somewhat coincidental) but Lexapro made me suicidal. I was 14 when I started it, and the only times I've heard of Lexapro doing it is when prescribed to teenagers. It did work for a few months, and it's very possible that I was already somewhat suicidal when I started it, but this med actually caused me to go through with an attempted (and failed) suicide, which left me in a coma for 2 days...

I REALLY hope you have better luck with it!!!!!! (Hope I didn't scare you )
