For me Lexapro was of great help. It reduced my major depression and obsessions significantly. Lexapro is much better than Paroxetine, Duloxetine in terms of sideffects (both of which have so much sideffects atleast for me). Paxil and duloxetine have many bad reports from users. Best to start with Lexapro, Sertraline Or Fluxetine. These have been shown to be most safer for all in general

Nothing else has changed, no weight gain, no other drugs or medical condition that could explain the sudden rise. My dr took me off the Yaz in hopes that my blood pressure will come down, it's been two weeks an... View full comment
