I am on Lexapro now, and have been for a year and a couple months. I didnt find it helpful AT ALL when I first started taking it, but I kept it up and improved slowly. However, I soon felt so great that i made the stupid decision t stop taking it, because it was causing me to lose so much weight that my family and friends commented negatively towards it, and my depression quickly spiraled out of control. But then when I started taking it again, it actually made it worse at night....Its supposed to last 24 hours right? why does this happen?does anyone maybe have any suggestions as to how I am supposed to handle my urges/feelings during the night?
