Finally started Lexapro and I'm actually noticing a difference

2w ago·1 min read

Week 4 on lexapro and I have to say it's helped with the constant brain fog I was living in. Not a miracle cure or anything, but I can actually focus on conversations with my kids without my mind racing 1000 different directions. Still dealing with some side effects (constipation is real lol) but my therapist says that might settle down. Anyway just wanted to post this because I almost didn't try medication and I'm glad I did.

Huge congrats man, the brain fog thing is SO real and nobody talks about it enough. The fact that you can just... be present in conversations now probably means more to your kids than they'll ever know

did you notice any side effects the first few weeks? asking bc my doc wants to start me on it but I'm worried about how it'll interact with literally everything

Week 4 is still early but I'm glad it's working for you. I'm on week 6 and yeah same thing - not a magic fix but I can actually THINK about what my kids are saying instead of just nodding while anxiety spirals in my head. This post needed to happen
