I'm glad I started the Lexapro and I'm not sorry. I was in a really dark place and I couldn't take feeling the feelings anymore. The agony was non-stop. I was in such a bad place that doing the things I need to do to get back on track were not going to happen. I couldn't function normally in the world and I was starting to fear for my safety. One week in, (taking only 1/2 a pill each day) my horrible feelings have significantly lessened. I know I need to feel them eventually and I will get off again in a few months, but now I can function in the world, interact with people, focus on getting some work done and getting a job.
Lexapro got me through three years and change of post-college life. I had other real life issues I had to deal and I was able to have genuine feelings regularly. Just keep an eye on things as it takes a while to build in your bloodstream. Talk to your doctor regularly about how you're feeling on the medication.
And again, pills don't fix anything. Pills won't help fix you, that's all on you. Are you seeing an IC?
