I've been taking Lexapro for about eight months, it was hell for the first two months, these days it's like I'm not on anything, I don't notice it.
I also smoke weed and hash, a lot of weed and hash every day. Thats not the reason your husbands leaving you.
People here always act like over cautious psychologists trying to label every state of mind for a chemical solution. I don't think he's manic or bipolar. I think he was depressed for years while married to you and now Lexapro has lifted the cloud and he sees whats actually wrong in his life; he's unhappy with you.
You said "we are now about to lose everything we have worked so hard for", maybe you are about to loose everything YOU worked so hard for and he was just going along. Now Lexapro has given him the clear headedness and confidence to get on with his life somewhere he's happy. Maybe you need to move on too.
Just my two cents, anyways I hope things work out for you whatever happens, it must be a very difficult time. It's easy to blame it on meds and easer for people here to blame it on manic depression, something they have no idea if your husband really suffers from. Sometimes it's better to hear what you don't want to hear.
