I was on it years ago. It helped a lot with my anxiety and depression. I took it for almost 2 years and stopped suddenly. I would not advise that. A slow taper off is best when you feel you no longer need it. It did cause weight gain as a negative.

I have been on 20 mg, lexapro/citalapram for 15 years for depression, it works. Weight gain is possible, but feeling like you can cope is worth it. Now with a grip on my depression causes, I’m going off, warning, it is not easy. I’m tapering 50% increments over 6 weeks, even with that process the withdrawal symptoms are difficult.
