I’ve recently started taking prescribed lexapro. I was talking to a therapist about my feeling of anxiety and dread when it comes to work tasks. If my mindset was in a better place, I’d be crushing this job. First week I took 2.5mg in the morning. Second week (this week) has been 5mg. I feel like the work anxiety has gotten exponentially worse. And my motivation feels shot. And the list is adding up. 

I have had some very constructive and positive moments on lexapro recently that make me want to wait it out (found myself walking taller, genuinely enjoying time with my dog, etc.) but these side effects are really messing with me and kinda making my work anxiety WORSE. 

Does anyone else have this? Am I alone? Are you feeling exhaustion for no good reason? I need some feedback because I feel stuck.
