Lexapro is usually taken for 8 weeks, but it is not uncommon that doctor recommend extended period of therapy. So it means that 3 months are not that long period. More serious depressive disorders require several months of therapy with lexapro, but with systemic evaluation. I guess that you mom has regular controls and evaluations. Also, therapy should be discontinued gradually, by decreasing the dose. It make take much longer to get off of lexapro completely.
