Hi everyone, I'm in need of some new advice.
As you might know, I'm fighting my comedown with some help (lexapro). The side effects are killing my though, I'm constantly tired and my vision is totally fucked - I have developed a lot of eye-floaters. Meanwhile I've started to regret the decision of coming on a SSRI, mostly after reading all the recovery stories on this site, which just enforce my anxiety as I'm unsure whether the SSRI are causing more damage.
I know I experienced some progress last week, but my psychiatrist told me that it couldn't be due to the meds, as it shouldn't work so early on. Maybe it's placebo.
Anyways, right now I'm constantly thinking about tapering off the lexapro now (3 weeks in). I've just spoken to my psych, and I'm meeting him tomorrow to discuss whether I should continue or not.
I know the best advice would be to just listen to the doc, but I would love some opinions from you guys anyway
