This is incredibly scary to learn about as I take Lexapro 5mg, daily to help cope with my anxiety, depression and among other things like ADHD and my brain is literally in lag mode all the fucking time. I was even thinking about upping my dosage to 10-20mg a day and even have my doc prescribe me adderall to help cope with my horrible adult ADHD. Yikes. What can I do instead? :/ I have really bad mental health/self image issues and while I feel like I’m getting better I don’t really…. Feel like I’m getting better on Lexapro.. oh.. I guess I fell for the illusion a fucking pill could help me feel better.. now I just feel dumb..
Dont feel dumb. Its a big psy war and any of those farkers involved should hang their head.
I can't offer med advice but I would consider the possibility of weening off.
Lexapro will not help you only make you worse. Myself and my fiance have been diagnosed with all sorts of mental illnesses by "professionals". We were both on ssris at one point or another specifically Lexapro for my old lady, among other drugs. I had my suspicions of big pharma but it wasn't for some time before we learned the full truth.
Also ADHD is not real, it's literally a made up condition for which myself, my fiance, and many of our friends and family have been prescribed harmful medication for.
I suggest doing a deep dive on these topics; even with heavy censorship you can still find articles and blogs dealing with them.
What we have found is that anxiety and depression issues can be solved almost entirely by lifestyle and diet changes. The addition of natural supplements has proven helpful in certain situations as well.
I can provide more information when I have more time if you like.

Whatever you do, do not stop taking it without the guidance of a physician familiar with how to prevent withdrawl symptoms.
Midwestern Doctor has a couple of really good Substack posts if you have not seen them.
