I have been sober for over 7 years and have taken Lexapro the entire time. It IS part of my recovery, to take an antidepressant after suffering many years of depression. There is nothing wrong with taking needed medication. I would not have been able to stay sober had I been depressed the way I was out there. We need to be very, very careful with medication that is a narcotic. Anti-depressants are not narcotics.
Please know, many, many of us take these medications.
Take care and God Bless.
