Hi, really need some advice, I’ve never suffered from mh before but in April I was hit hard with depression and anxiety, doctors prescribed me with 5mg of escitalopram, only a small dose as I’m very small and very sensitive to meds, first 2 weeks were hell but by week 3 I was definitely improving, hit week 4 and slumped a bit.. slowly started to improve, then hit week 9 and have completely crashed, intrusive thoughts n full anxiety, have taken myself to a safe place and not moved, I tried to go back to work this week and it didn’t go so well , still got a fuzzy head and dnt feel overly myself anymore, I’m usually a happy person n I just feel sad and exhausted, are the meds making me worse or are they just not enough , I’m so confused x

Yes the side effects are not good
But it's in your system now so it should be easier I hope
