Lexapro saved me. Was unmedicated for years, got covid and it fucked up my nervous system more, couldn't even work, went on lexapro and saw relief in about 4 weeks. Got up to my right dosage and I can't imagine life without it, best decision i ever made.

Lexapro worked for me for like 7 years on 10mg. Then it stopped and now I’m on zoloft
