I tried a number of things (exercise, doing things I love, getting lots of sunshine, etc.) and I was still having trouble getting out of bed. Lexapro has given me a positive kick. I still have low days where I crawl back in bed, but I am able to keep my depression at bay. I recently went through some major life changes (moving away from family & friends) and am living in cold weather for the first time in my life. I tried to cope with the changes and looked at my depression as transition sadness, but I was not getting over it after a few months and I didn't want it to progress too seriously where I was no longer able to admit I needed help. I have found Lexapro to have no side effects thus far & not conflict with my other prescriptions.
