Just diagnosed and given Lexapro

Hi,

My name Christie, I'm a 37 year old wife & stay at home mom of 3. I was diagnosed today with depression. I also was diagnosed about 3 years ago with ADD and take meds for that. The Dr prescribed me Lexapro 10mg a day to start for the depression. I know  asking a question from the get go probaly isnt best, but i was wondering if any of you happen to knwo abotu this drug and if so, what your experiences were? I just have lost hope of ever having the deisre or motiviation to do things, let alone be happy, when i have every reason to be happy, so, even tho thre is no 1 magic pill out there, is this Lexapro goign to help?

Thanks,

Christie
