This is my first time on the boards though I've been using the resources at this site for some time. I'm a 34yo mother of two girls ages 3 1/2 and 1. Recently I sought treatment for depression, from which I've suffered mildly throughout my life. As a SAHM it was impacting my ability to function pretty severely. I've been medicated on Lexapro 20 mg. for about 5 weeks and for the past 2 have been feeling VERY manic--increasingly so every day. My kids are screaming at present so I'll cut it short but any other similar experiences? I'm scared to start trying other meds as this is SOOOO much better than my previous inertia. But I know it's not normal and *suspect* it's not ideal...
