Comment:
It has really helped me. I have been on paxil and zoloft. Lexapro works really well for me. I have noticed a decrease in memory for small activities. Overall, it has really helped me cope with my life and depression.

Comment:
I have my days still, but Lexapro has given me the ability to function normally so I can get along with my daily routine. The only complaint I have is that my short-term memory has not been quite as sharp since I have been on it and I know others who take it who also have the same effect.
