I haven't started them yet. Took them years ago but not sure how much they helped. I have ocd and anxiety, regularly get intrusive thoughts about all sorts of things. I've been prescribed 10mg lexapro after having a nervous breakdown. I jumped on a plane and flew halfway around the world to be home with my parents cos things were becoming too much to handle. Currently seeing a counsellor but I'm not sure how much it helps.

Will antidepressants really make a difference? I find it hard to sleep and I get terrible anxiety every day I wake up. I can't breathe and my heart goes so fast. I'm really worried about side effects and just feel so down.
