I can't go so far as to say it saved my life, but I'm part of that cohort of 10% of men who develop postpartum depression. Taking a small dosage of Lexapro had zero side effects for me and helped me deal with not just the anxiety and depression I was experiencing but also a lot of pre-existing anxious behavior that I didn't even realize was abnormal.

Huge quality of life improvement. 10/10 would medicate again.

Lexapro made me feel like I was randomly being dropped down an elevator shaft for 6 months after I stopped taking it. I’m glad it worked for you, and am not minimizing that, but these medications have a side effects profile a mile long and should be a therapy of last resort in my opinion.
