My husband went to the doctor today and was given this drug. As soon as I got home I looked up all the contraindications, and then I found this board. However, I really need to ask something that I'm sure no one can answer, but I'm really thinking that it's the biggest part of the problem. Anyway, he has always been a regular user of marijuana, but lately, he hasn't gotten any, and it seems that ever since he decided to quit, he's been completely out of control with his emotions. He gets angry very easily, he's been depressed, he's been stressed, overwhelmed, and just everything has been too much for him. Now, we've been together for 20 years, and during that entire time, he's always used marijuana, and I truly feel like this is part of a withdrawal, but I had him go to the doctor who prescribed lexapro, and I'm just wondering if this drug can be helpful in this situation, and if this is just more of a short term thing to help him past the withdrawal.
