thats kind of your call.. i used SJW to help with some minor depression awhile ago.. it did help and i had no side effects from it.. as for OCD i have no idea if it helps or not.. one thing you should know is if you start taking it and are on it for a while you have to stop for atleast 2-3 weeks before you can start taking any other ADs.. so if it isnt working and then you decide to use the lexapro your going to have to make sure the SJW is out of your system..
