Thank you! I am through the hard part & feel better now then when I was on lexapro. Lexapro was giving me anxiety & sensitity to noise. I would get over stimulated easily on the meds. Next step is coming off trazadone for sleep. I’m waiting a couple more weeks to start that because I have a long history of insomnia. I’ve got CBD oil coming in the mail to help with my sleep. I want to be drug free, at least in natural drugs. Good luck everybody! It gets better! I was on lexapro for 20 years.

So glad you’re through the hard part. I take Trazodone for insomnia too. It helps some but seems to wear off after 4 hours. Will you let me know if the CBD oil works? I’m very interested.

Nutritional depletion is huge in this situation. I suggest that you read this link and focus on vitamins that he mentions. It doesn't have to be the brands he recommends obviously. I recommend desiccated liver capsules as they are very high in all of the B vitamins and the amino acids that supply our brains with the nutrients for neurotransmitters.
