hi all, was wondering if anyone has had experience with the SSRI antidepressant drug "lexapro"
my wife (aged 27, together for 7 years, married for almost 4 of those years) was diagnosed with major depression about 2 and a half months ago, after getting in to see a psychiatrist she was prescribed 10mg dose of lexapro. (she has previously been on Effexor about 5 years ago but didnt like it cos it used to make her sick in the stomach)....... so anyway the timeline of events goes, the first 3 weeks she was doing ok coping with the depression, the 3 to 6 week period she slipped a bit but now after 6 weeks (currently in week 7) she has severly gone down hill.... moved back to her parents house for space and time (she is taking it out on some of my shortcomings.. eg being lazy and minor things like that).... also trying to shut me out, doesnt want to talk to me or see me
this feeling of not being able to see her to help her through this time in need is killing me, just want to see her smiling again...
we have been going to councelling (thats how we found out she had depression) i have backed right off to not pressure her but i want to maintain contact (in neutral surroundings) just so she knows im here for her and im waiting, if she ever needs to talk or anything i am here and she can count on me.
so i guess my question is to anyone who has used it or been around anyone someone who has used it.... did anything similar like this happen to you, and if so... did the drugs eventually pull them out of it??
