Absolutely! I was stunned reading this piece because I've been on lexapro for years - no suicidal thoughts, even after a dreadful shocking breakup last year. Thank God. But no doctor ever mentioned the side effect of lexapro could be suicide. Yikes. I'm one of the lucky ones. Perhaps because I have a wondrous therapist and read/listen to a ton of great teachers many would dismiss as "new age" or woo woo. Buddhism is a great help as well
