Thanks so much for your kind words-greatly appreciated. I worry about these things running in my family. My sister who is 12 years older than me is a manic depressive in a nursing home. I understand that my Grandfather died (before I was born) from depression related illness. Sometimes I get aggregated having to take my 20 mg Lexapro daily (at 8am-UG). I have never taken these pills before. I started taking them last December so it has been 8 months. I am not a pill taker by trait and I am finding that these Lexapro cause me emotional blunting. I feel a little numb to things that I used to enjoy. I guess with every pill one takes there are some side effects. I have moved a few times in hopes that it would help with my anxiety and depression but have found that is something that no matter where you live, it doesn’t matter, you need to work on it. My dad also suffered from depression as not many people knew about it and he always seemed to disguise it well.

If you find you are slipping into a fog from meditation tell your doctor. I have Bipolar 1 and I remember Lexipo. Keep in mind I am only saying this so you can get another opinion. When I was taking Lexipro it would put me into mania. When I’m in the terrible depression I would beg for Lexipro. After a couple of times he stopped prescribing it
