Im on Lexapro to treat depression and severe irritability. Ive been told that these symptoms could be attributed to celiac desease which I now know that I have.

Lexapro helps me. I have tried many antidepressents but only Lexapro helped me. Everyone is different because I know many people who it doesn't help at all. I tried to go off my medication this year but I could tell right away when I lowered the dose that I was not feeling right. I guess I still need it and maybe I always will but that is okay.
