TicTacGo's right. It would be wise to consult your pdoc. Different folks react to meds differently, but I've been on Lexapro for years & don't notice any ill effects. My pdoc lowers my dose down as low as possible when I'm not feeling too depressed, but when I'm really getting beaten down he increases it accordingly. Unlike my former pdoc, my new one micro-manages my meds in a much wiser manner. I like that...
