Antidepressants

Hey everyone,

I’ve been taking Elicea (escitalopram) 10 mg since September 2025. At first it was great — I had more energy, started going to the gym, and even quit smoking for about 3 months.

But over the last 2 months, it feels like everything has gone downhill. I have zero energy, mornings are really hard, I started smoking again, and I just don’t have the strength or motivation to work out anymore.

I’m also seeing a psychologist at the same time.

Has anyone experienced something similar on escitalopram?

Did it get better for you, or did you have to change something?

Could this just be a temporary phase?

Would really appreciate hearing your experiences.
