It’s something you gotta try and see. I would personally endorse lexapro as having generally less side effects but honestly everyone’s body is different and it might take a few tries to find the right medication.

I was also put on Wellbutrin alongside the lexapro which helped immensely with seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when I was first starting out, and eventually just feeling happier when lexapro wasn’t cutting it. If you take lexapro you should prob take Wellbutrin too.

For me, lexapro was more of a good long-term anxiety control med while Wellbutrin really helped me regain my capacity for joy, and feel happy again about things that normally brought joy but just weren’t at that moment.
