I'm curious when it worked for you what effects did you get from it?

Huh... nothing? Did it cause emotional blunting? What changed?

No emotional blunting, i only had side effects the first few weeks being on it about 8 years ago and i can’t even remember what those were other than just tiredness. Not quite sure what changed that’s why i came here to ask if anyone else has experience with a medicine losing effect.

Not Lexapro, but I was on Zoloft for years and it quit working so it does happen.

Yes, and they gave me Wellbutrin, I probably spelled it wrong.but it helped, a lot.
