Motivation is non-existent.

I don’t know if this is Lexapro calming me down too much or what but I have zero motivation to do anything... I have a day off today and all I want to do is lie on the couch but I also don’t want to watch anything on tv either like I just feel numb.

I couldn’t tell you, Coral. It could be the Lexapro, or you could just be tired. Anxiety and depression both make people exhausted. How long have you been on Lexapro?

[Coralrose5 in reply to Kat63]

I’ve only been on it for a week.

Did the doctor tell you how long it would take for it to settle with your system? I know some meds have side effects in the beginning that go away after a little while.

I think 2 weeks but more likely 4-6.
