> What is the worst AD youve ever taken? For me, without a doubt it was Lexapro. This has got to be the absolutely shittiest antidepressant Ive taken. It was touted as being basically "side effect free" yet it caused me the worst weight gain of about any antidepressant Ive ever taken. Remember that dipshit Lexapro salesman that used to post on here for a while before Lexapro came out? He was full of bull. It also had SEVERE sexual side effects, worse than Zoloft or Paxil or other ADs Ive taken. Finally, it made me very "flat" happy feeling...I assume because its so "clean" and has basically no effect on dopamine or norephinephrine. Basically its too selective, so it makes you what I call "flat happy" feeling. Like you are some zombie and dont give a shit about anything.

>I have lost 10 lbs. on Lexapro, and it has basically *cured* my insomnia. I find it *energizing* and seem to get more accomplished these days. I do not feel like a zombie, and have felt happy and carefree like I used to in my younger days. Sexual se went away for me. Have been on Lex since Feb., currently @20mg.
Seems we are all different and what works for one does not for another. Hope you find something that works for you!
Best of luck.~~~8|8
