Escitalopram
generalized anxiety disorde
"I’ve had depression since the 11th grade and anxiety even longer. My low mood symptoms included crying a lot, secluding myself, paranoid about people watching me, self punishments, no clear thoughts, didn’t care about my future and couldn’t picture one, controlling about food and lost my love for reading and art. I felt fake around others and had to exhaust myself to seem “ok”. I’m taking 20mg and it has been nothing but a literal life saver for me. It takes the edge off of life and allows me to think rationally and focus. Give it Time, the symptoms decreased after a month or so for me. Things aren’t perfect, just incredibly more manageable, but best of all is genuinely laughing, smiling and saying “today was a good day” and meaning it."
