Reply #72: I take Lexapro. I've been told I have very low seratonin levels.

I have always had some kind of depression for no reason and would cry at the drop of a hat starting in elementary school until I could not take it any more in college. I started taking prozac and it made me feel better for years but then two years ago it stopped working and I returned to the over sensitive depression. I was told by my doctor that people can become immune to the drug after taking it for a long time so I switched to Lexapro and feel very good on that one. Drugs just don't work for some people but for me it has made things so much better. Its like a little switch goes off in my brain when I take the drug. If I don't take it for a day or too I have trouble concentrating and get very down very quickly. Ironically, chocolate also helps raise seratonin levels which might be why I'm addicted to it. Oh well.
