13 days agoHello! I’m in a similar situation.
I was diagnosed with anxiety and put on the same generic for lexapro as you. I found that it hasn’t made me any happier, I just give waay less of a shit about things that used to upset me.
After a few months of lexapro my NP suggested we treat my adult ADHD. For me, starting the generic version of adderall was night and day. It made me feel like I had been asleep my whole life and finally woke up.
My NP suggested that some people experience anxiety as a result of suffering from untreated ADHD, and that I might eventually be able to get off lexapro for good.
I’m glad you’re feeling better! Love the cat pictures too.
Ugh that sounds awful. I hope you can find something safe and reasonably priced. 🙏❤️
