> P. don't freak out. Your pharmacist's theory is absolutely unfounded, it makes *no* sense whatsoever. It's pretty outrageous.
I agree. The word "outrageous" came to my mind too. This pharmacist was completely unprofessional and had no business saying that. I believe the newest research shows that the brain continues to change and form new neurons throughout life (albeit slowly) so there is always hope that it will improve. You're fine.As far as Lexapro I think it's worth a shot, at a low dose anyway to try and avoid adverse effects like the ones I've described elsewhere. It's supposed to be great for anxiety. The jury's still out on whether this low dose will work for me long term but I am feeling fantastically better so I hope my experience gives you a little hope. :)
Diagnosis: recurrent melancholic depression
