John, If it turns out that your wife does want to give it a try, the Lexapro won't hurt her permanently. There is certainly no evidence of these drugs doing long term harm and they have been around for many years (SSRI's since 1989).
Lots of women take SSRI's for pms. Prozac is given for pms. Since there is a stigma about "Prozac", the makers of Prozac also market Prozac under a different name (I think it's Sarafram?). That way, women with pms or depression who don't want people to know they take Prozac can say they take Sarafram.
