lexapro doing nothing? i don't have any of the side effects either?
started taking lexapro a few months ago. 17 milligrams.
at first i thought it was making enough of a difference to keep using it. i do not feel less depressed, it hasn't given me any motivation. for example, i laid in bed all day today. i think it has regulated my mood somewhat? i think. i still have dark thoughts all the time, my mind still races and when i wake up in the morning i feel absolutely miserable. i think it has helped me with my depersonalization/derealization though so i think it is worth it for that.
at first i thought it helped me with my social anxiety a little, but now im back to feeling absolutely terrified at work every day so whatever.
i feel confused because i don't feel any of the side effects i constantly see people online talk about.
i don't sweat a lot. my AC sucks and my job is physically demanding, i don't feel like i sweat though.
i don't "feel nothing" like i see people talk about? for instance, i will see a tiktok where someone will have no reaction to something and the comments will always say "what dose of Lexapro are you on". i feel absolutely no different in that way. cannot relate to that at all.
i also hear that it's supposed to be impossible to cry on lexapro? i still cry every day lol, ive had absolutely no difference when it comes to the crying.
and lastly, i know youre not supposed to be able to orgasm on SSRIs as easily. ive tested it out for science and i see absolutely no difference as well.
i just think it's interesting, i feel like im not getting much out of lexapro at all and im not even experiencing any of the side effects. anyone else experience this?
