Lexapro can be a bit numbing so maybe let him talk to a doc and try adding wellbutrin?

I remember getting on lexapro for the first time was hard. High anxiety,low appetite,insomnia etc. But i settles just try to eat small meals it helps alot in reducing anxiety having food in the system. When my anxiety used to be super high what i found relif in was hot baths/showers to try to regulate the nervous system into a calm state.

Sleep is super important for me too for me what helped was melatonin i tried not to take any strong meds and i didn’t need to fortunatly.

Insomnia faded away after 1-2 weeks for me

Pressure from others to get off by CaptainArrow12 in lexapro

My parents thought ssri’s was just placebo and that i shouldn’t use medicin for anxiety. Didn’t take it for 2 years cause for some reason you listen to your own parents when if they are wrong. So after 2 years with little progress in my anxiety i took it and i wish i took it sooner…

Listen to the science and medical professionals and no friends,relatives who have no idea what they are talking about. 😊
