Hope for anyone who is currently starting Lexapro

I know there is a lot of the same answer on here but I still wanted to give anyone who is currently starting Lexapro some hope.

I am 41/f and have used Lex before. I just found some notes I took back in 2013. At week 3 I wrote I was still derealizing - meaning I still had anxiety and called it a “dreamy feeling” not knowing it actually had a scientific name 😅

At week 5, I said I was back to normal without any side effects and I was relieved.

So, please be patient until weeks 4-6 like everyone else here is saying and know that you are not alone.

I am currently restarting and had no memory of how it went the first time around. It was relieving for me to find these notes. We are all on the same boat. Just wanted to send some positive energy. 💓
