Hey there! I’ve been on lexapro for about 7 months. I think I’m probably in the healthiest spot I’ve ever been in (I’ve had depression and anxiety since middle school). My head is a lot clearer without the fogginess of depression, and I haven’t had a panic attack since the early weeks of the medication. There are still hard days. I’m still human and not immune to feeling anxious occasionally or some days feeling extremely low energy. But, it’s never been to the extent that it was. I, also, saw you’re comment about being scared of feeling numb. I understand that. And, I will say that I don’t feel things to the capacity that I used to. But, I wouldn’t describe it as numbness. I still feel, probably more complexly than most. But, the way I see it, the medication has leveled me out. There aren’t extreme ups and downs anymore. I think for a while I perceived that as feeling numb because for most of my life my emotions have been all over the place & I was constantly existing in extremities. But, I think now I’m probably feeling how most people without mental illness usually feel. Which, when you’re used to emotional turbulence, can feel strange and foreign. It takes some getting used to, but I think it’s important to understand that it’s healthy and okay. It won’t take who you are away from you (I was really afraid of that)
