I hear ya man. I was doing the talk thing for about a month before medication even came up. By that time I figured it couldn't hurt to try. My main problem is boredom. I have literally NOTHING to do and this town doesn't make matters any better. I get bored and my mind wanders...not necessarily to good places. That, and I over-analyze things. Combine that with all the smoking and drinking and it's just not a pretty picture. One thing I will say for Lexapro is that it's definitely one of the cleaner SSRIs out there. Something like Paxil or Zoloft probably would've fucked you up a lot worse. At least you know that you've got it if you need it down the line. You might even be better off with a tricyclic. I used to take Desipramine and that worked really well...but it's an old drug and a lot of doctors don't prescribe it much anymore. I've also heard good things about Cymbalta (aka Duloxetine). Man...there's way too many drugs out there.
