I've used Lexapro and it's very good. I get annoyed at people who poo-poo medications. We're talking about conditions that affect our brains' ability to produce the chemicals necessary for coping. Stress and trauma may be related to the onset of these problems, but there's still the chemical aspect of it. Diabetics don't stop taking their meds when they're feeling well. For me, the meds don't completely solve the problem but they enable us to work toward a permanent resolution. Let me know if you think I'm totally wrong.
