It will get better! Just hang in there. My doctor prescribed htp for me which is a natural serotonin producer and it helps! You can’t take it with other antidepressants though cause it could give you too much serotonin which is dangerous. it also helps to exercise. I’m addicted to running 3 miles a day. And diet is huge! I stopped eating gluten, diary and sugar. Can’t wait to hear the rest of your story. Good luck & God heals/ bless!

Thanks, Yes God does heal and he is. I have been having a combination of loving thoughts and angry thought patterns mixed with almost a flooding feeling of love through my head. My head feels like it is being filled with those feelings people have when they see a puppy or kitten or nice teddy bear. Childlike love feelings. I can only assume it is the Serotonin getting back to its natural state. While at the same time those feelings are prevalent I also have been very emotional crying in small bursts over the simplest things in life that to me are the beauty of God and his love for his creation. For those that do not know God this may be hard to read. So I am only going to occasionally talk about him because I want to reflect on the symptoms I am experiencing related to Lexapro withdrawal. The crying part can be quite nice but also I don’t want to be so emotional that I cry at the sight of a butterfly 🦋 although I have in past and that was a good thing. For now I think my body is adjusting to life without a foreign chemical in its ranks. While not all of this is how I would like to share my feelings I am believing that all people can overcome these withdrawal symptoms from all drugs. We just sometimes need places like this to share our experiences with the occasional response.
