You got someone who was unhappy to take drugs? That's sad. Why didn't you get her to make something out of her life and accomplish goals, eat a healthy diet, exercise, volunteer to help others less fortunate, get involved in fun activities, and enjoy life? So now she's becoming addicted to dangerous drugs and is still unhappy-- I guess your idea didn't work.
Lexapro's Side Effects include:
* lethargy
* apathy
* generally not giving a damn
How Long Lexapro Takes to Work: Lexapro starts to work anywhere from a couple days to over a month, but many who have tried other SSRIs report that Lexapro kicks in faster than the competition, with about one to two weeks being reported frequently.
These drugs are for MAJOR depressive disorders, not an unhappy girlfriend!

Yes, it does take a while, sometimes 6-8 weeks. If there is still no change, she may need a higher dosage. I'm more concerned about other things:
1) Did you know once you start Lexapro, you should take it for the rest of your life?
2) She shows no change....but does she 'feel' a change - that's more her call than yours

Why might you prefer to get married? The rules in Canada additionally set the age of consent at sixteen so it is criminal to have intercourse. the only reason i will see for a 17- and 19-3 hundred and sixty 5 days-previous to get married generally includes the presence of her mothers and fathers and somebody conserving a shotgun on the groom! 2 human beings get married in certainty for financial motives (even nonetheless they often do no longer comprehend it), it enables them each and each to share in the sources of the family contributors, to be waiting to receive the different's pension and social coverage, and countless different advantages. yet for 2 young babies who have not got any sources, at the instant are not getting married by using fact they desire to ward off a toddler from being categorized illegitimate, and are not making plans to bypass in mutually, i do no longer see why it incredibly is mandatory. Are you working, and in a position to assist her? no longer something makes any experience.

It takes more than drugs to make a person happy, belive me.
What else is going on? Any major life events maybe causing her mood? Is she studying or working? Does she have an expressive outlet eg art, book group? Are you conversing with her or monitoring her?
Drugs can help, but not on their own!

You should never give antidepressants to anyone unless your are a licensed medical doctor and they are your patient and you have diagnosed them with depression or anxiety. They are not meant to be "happy pills" or a quick pick-up. They are for people with clinical disorders.
