I have been on Cipralex/Lexapro for 2 months. I seem better and more active with life as I noticed. My aunt recently passed away due to being on anti-depressants for 30 years or so "I heard" due to her body giving up from my mothers words.
She is trying to make me stop using them. I said I would, but didnt. I dont know whether these drugs are bad for my long term health. I was personally againest going on them and was worried in the beginning but after hearing the news about my aunt, I am debating about it again. My mom would always hide the dark bad things my aunt would do such as cut herself and strongly drink but stopped about 15 years ago before her death. Bringing the topic to my mother would not work. I dont understand how the body can just give into the drugs and fail. I am worried about being on anti-depressants for my long term health.
I would just like to know whether it is possible to die from anti-depressants (not overdose) after being on them for a long time. Whether their actually bad for the health, what is your opinon on them?

I don't think antidepressants are bad, but I do think that conditions such as hypothyroidism are grossly underdiagnosed.
