Thanks for sharing. Im glad your son found some relief. I, too, tried SSRIs for about 3 months' time before getting off them. My personal experience with SSRIs was that at age 26, I was put on Lexapro...

Thank you for sharing. I, a 41 yr old male, have had a very similar experience with Lexapro/Cipralex (10 mg). Prozac was one of the first SSRIs, if I'm not mistaken, definitely before Cipralex came ou...
