Had to get back on lexapro and I’m glad I did

Flood tragedy here in Texas and other unpleasant stuff going on w me and I started to feel truly mentally unwell. I hate the side effects of feeling mentally unsharp and like I don’t care about anything, but I needed it bad. I know they say it takes weeks, but that is not true for me: after 1 dose, I was watching comedy videos and laughing for the first time in what feels like weeks. I am chemically altered.

I’m going to stay on it indefinitely. I feel too fragile.

ETA: 5 mg is all I need.
