I accidentally cut my knuckle with manicure scissors 10 days ago. Now, it looks like this. It is swollen, red and I can't fully bend my finger :( It hurts a little when I try to bend it. Is it infected? Will some neosporin work?

Hi everyone! I'm F26, I don't smoke/drink. I have depression and anxiety.
I started taking Luvox in October 2025 for anxiety and depression. It worked relatively fast and helped a lot, but it was way too sedating for me. I was literally falling asleep all the time. My psychiatrist suggested switching to a more activating SSRI, Lexapro. I took my first 10mg dose on April 22nd, then upped to 20mg after about a week. That might have been too fast?
Now my feelings of despair and meaninglessness are back ;( It feels like I’m back where I started before Luvox.
Is this just a normal part of the adjustment period? Should I wait it out for Lexapro to kick in?
Thanks for any advice!

Has anyone else experienced a relapse of depression like this when switching SSRIs? Is this just a normal part of the adjustment period? Should I wait it out for Lexapro to kick in?
