Hey everyone,
I’m 24 M and recently started having random anxiety flare ups and panic attacks, and I’m curious what had worked well and poorly for you all.
My psychiatrist prescribed lexapro 5mg and the side effect profile was too rough given my demanding job.
I’m on day 3 (5mg, 24M), though I haven’t taken my pill yet, since the last 2 days have been absolutely awful. I’ve been having severe brain fog, heightened anxiety, depersonalization & derealization, nausea, and horrible intrusive thoughts.
I feel stuck, because if I continue with it, idk if I’ll feel better soon. If I stop, I’ll go back to being anxious and having panic attacks. Any personal insights would be very welcome.
