Testosterone and Lexapro

TRT help

Hello all,

I’ve been on Lexapro, 20mg a day for the past 14 years. Roughly 2 years ago I did a blood test and my Testosterone came back super low, did a couple more over the years and it never got better so I started TRT roughly 2 weeks ago now.

All was fine and good until yesterday. Suddenly my anxiety, the same I had as a teenager, is back. The feelings of going crazy, some Depersonalisation and just huge anxiety…

My question is, anyone who has had a similar experience? Does it get better? Is it just because my T levels are still stabilising that’s causing this huge spike in anxiety?
