Thanks for the info! I'll check out that site as soon as I'm done typing this post. I'm not *too* worried about Lexapro making me depressed in the long-term, although I'll definitely be calling my doctor if these side effects persist for more than a couple weeks. I've only been on it for 5 days, and they're actually not using it on me to treat depression - they're treating anxiety. I'm also still adjusting to hormone birth control (first time using it), so that might account for some of the moodiness - I definitely noticed THAT worsening when I put on the first patch. Anyway, I'm rambling... thanks... and I'm off to check out that link.
