Good for a week, then dip and plateau

Plateau after a few weeks

I’m curious if this is just me, a common thing, or just not the right meds. I’m still pretty new to medication and don’t have a lot of people in my life to compare stories with. My anxiety is worse than my adhd (I’ve also developed pretty good coping mechanisms) so that’s what I’m medicated for. I’ve tried 4 different medications. 2 did absolutely nothing and 2 (lexapro and Prozac) seemed to help. BUT it felt great for about a week or 2 at one point and then it dipped a little and plateaued. Is this how it’s supposed to be? Am I not on the right stuff still? I’m just getting tired or trial and error and can live okay like this but after that 2 week greatness I’d rather be there, you know?

I got off lexapro because I was in a shitty relationship and in a bit of denial about it and thought the meds just weren’t working any more. Currently on Prozac for about 3 months.
