I am highly depressed. People didnt take me for serious until I have went to a doctor. Doctor has noticed problem right away. He gave me Lexapro. After two weeks I have noticed that I am feeling better, but then something has changed. I am beginning to have suicidal thoughts. Is Lexapro linked to suicidal thoughts?

That should not be happening. The lexapro is made to stimulate making of serotonin in your brain. It is the brain chemical that have positive affects on your mood. I didnt have those problems he worked fine with me. You should share that with your doctor and he will know everything about what to do.
