Woah… 5 months in and the game changed

I started Lexapro 10 mg back in May and hadn’t the best experience. I am extremely sensitive to all medication (think I’ve seen this called chemically-sensitive? Maybe not accurate lol), and Lexapro made me entirely too drowsy, sluggish, and unmotivated. It helped my anxiety significantly, but I couldn’t even wake up in the morning until 10 or 11. If I did force myself awake earlier I was in an awful zombie cloud for hours.

I was literally about to switch to a different ssri to try (already had it prescribed by my psychiatrist and everything), and then Lexapro started feeling awesome… I was suddenly able to wake up in the morning like normal, I felt motivated again, and wasn’t sluggish throughout the entire day.

I’m so glad I didn’t switch… I guess I’m just so shocked it could literally change so much for me an entire 5 months since starting?!
