I resisited the drug thinkg for soooo long. I was in talk therapy for a year and a few months before I decided it might be a worthwhile shot. I am also on Lexapro! I am at 20 mg per day. It has really helped with my depression, the anxiety is syill there, but the edge is off.....

I cry too. Almost every session. I am also afraid to become dependant on this to feel good throughout my life. I will work hard to get to my core issues and hopefully within a year taper off and see how it goes.....

For now, focus on what positive changes the drugs help make and combine that with some hard work to learn and incorporate new ways of thinking so maybe you'll be able to one day be without Lexapro. But yes, if it is doing you well, you may need to stay a longer course with antidepressants and some people really need the biological/chemical component thing long term.

Good luck and PM me if you worry.....we can worry together!
