Hey everyone! I want to know your opinion on antidepressants. I personally take Lexapro for depression and social anxiety. However, you hear good and bad things about everything. I want to know what YOU think.

I was on meds for anxiety for years. Eventually that led me to Lexapro. The meds helped. I think the main problem with the meds not working in a lot of individuals is that they just use medication. They don't try therapy, they don't keep track of their progress and their thoughts so they have no idea what they are thinking or planning. Using one without the other really isn't a great idea in my opinion. And, neither is just prescribing medication when therapy would be the better option for some individuals.
