My Experience

[Den2542]

Hi everyone. So I'm doing well. Continuing taking Lexapro for complex PTSD, depression and anxiety. I've had 3 sessions with a therapist. Seems to be going well. It's still so surreal. I started Lexapro 45 days ago (6 weeks ago). Still it feels like I'm on a holiday vacation and at some point the bills come in. What I mean by that is there has been no episodes. I've had depression and anxiety all my life. I just thought everyone felt like this. No for once in my life I feel OK but when does the balloon burst. Is just too surreal. I'm not sure what to make of this.

WOOHOO! Awesome! Feeling OK is a great thing!

Talking about the balloon 🎈 …

Don’t worry about when the balloon may burst. It just causes you more anxiety. Enjoy the ride right now and let the Lexapro do its work. If you happen to notice the depression creeping up, go see your practitioner before it gets bad. You may need a simple dose adjustment or an add on medication. But for now, enjoy feeling OK!

Good luck to you! 🍀

congratulations! I was taking lexapro for 10 years. And decided to wean myself off 10 months ago and it has all come back (anxiety/ocd/depression). I’ve been contemplating starting back up - your post reminded me what I felt like when I was taking it. Enjoy the feeling and don’t worry about the bubble bursting I may need to restart this soon.
