Lol ugh. My baseline was grumpy and extremely sad 80% of my week. They started me in Lexapro last November… week of election. Terrible idea. I wasn’t sure if I was experiencing pill side effects or dealing with the election results. After two months it was clear it wasn’t helping so we upped my dosage right in time for the fires that burnt my city down. I didn’t think it was going to help at all but by mid January I was starting to experience little moments of joy. Initially, those bursts scared me. I was like what even is this emotion? My doctor was like, its normal as you adjust. It only lasted about two weeks. Now I am emotionally leveled out but back to the baseline of grump, but at least I’m not disabling levels sad. 😅
