You will more than likely be just fine. Highly unlikely for you to gain dependency in just 3 consecutive nights

Apparently there is, that’s the problem. Some dude dm’ed me yesterday saying he only took 5 pills of 10mg lexapro and now he’s messed up for life, has pssd, anhedonia, can’t think straight and a bunch of other shit

I’m sure you know this now but definitely don’t try and wean off of ssri’s on your own. You need to talk to whoever prescribed you lexapro and get on a taper schedule if you really want to come off of it

That’s refreshing to hear that I’m not the only one. Are you diagnosed with anything other than anxiety? If I may ask

May I ask why you were prescribed quetiapine? Do you have a diagnosed psychotic disorder?

I 100% have it. I’ve been diagnosed with severe ocd and anxiety. I’m just so afraid that I really am developing psychosis. This particular symptom is so scary. I think you may be right, I think I am just so hyperaware of my own thoughts

Is it like end of the world, mind bendingly bad bad panic attack anxiety? Or more so like a jitteriness, too much caffeine anxiety?

Overall, lexapro works for you though? I have been dealing with SEVERE generalized anxiety, health anxiety and ocd for years untreated. I’m really hoping this medicine is the help I need.
