You will be pleased to know that my friend swears by lexapro.
Whenever anything which I think is horrible is going on she will say "it's a lexapro day. Everything is fine."
i swear to you everyday that I talk to her all she says is that it was the greatest thing that has happened to her. Last year she was about to run away and end everything.
That is just one person, everyone is different, but I have only heard great things so far.
Good luck. :d
