Casey - I loved reading "I have problems that REQUIRE medication". If it makes you feel better and provides a better quality of life than so be it. I went off lexapro about 2 years ago but am ready to go back. I also take vicodin for compressed discs and pain from neurological symptoms (in MS limbo but may be fibro) - anyway, I hear negative remarks all the time about taking the meds. I am a single parent with a 7 year old daughter - why on earth would I want to feel bad when I can have a better day with less pain? At the moment, I don't care about the long term issues or risk of dependency as I'll deal with that when and if I have to - Right now, I have a life to live for myself and for my daughter.
