Wrong hole !

;-)

Im doing excellent now. That was about 2 years ago. There was a gradual improvement in all metrics over the course of about 6 months (i was on lexapro for 4 years).

I was working for a medical equipment supplier (respirators and defibrillators) over the course of covid. As you can imagine, the demand for our devices increased insanely over lockdown. The environment was already toxic pre pandemic so I had to get the heck out. Found a much better situation with much nicer people - kindof like reddit to lemmy. Lol

As far as going off the escitalopram - i recommend being gentle with yourself and taking one day at a time. Depending on how long you took it, it may be a longer or shorter process. When i rediscovered libido and everything that goes with that, i found that it was a little different. I had to recalibrate a bit physically. I found my way back from the dependency and now im in a happy fulfilling relationship with a newborn son.

I wish you the best!

Thank you! We are chillin right now and he’s cute af

Second the trypophobia nightmare statement. I started having heart palpitations when i looked at that. Thanks…

Exhausted. Have a month old son (my first). He is a reasonably behaved newborn but he still beats my wife and myself down psychologically. I was so sleep deprived yesterday that the floaters in my vision kept jump scaring me. Despite this, I’ve never been happier.

I cut out lexapro a few years ago after removing myself from a stressful situation (bad work environment) had the same issues with libido and whatnot. Hope it works out for you!

I used to love that sound until my first roof replacement on my house. Rain is surprisingly destructive. It gently kicks my house’s ass. Everytime it rains, i fear that my newborn son will inherit a disintegrated, dry rotted termite mound. [Sorry for the grimness - i said this with mostly a joking cadence in my mind] this is my first lemmy comment ftw
