It really depends on the symptoms presented to the doctor at the time medicine is prescribed.

I would suggest sharing the symptoms hubs is presenting since being on the medicine with the doctor.

I take Lexapro but my son didn’t respond to that and takes Prozac. My daughter also takes Lexapro with good results. I think it really depends on the person. Unfortunately they inherited my disorder but we caught it early for them, which is also important.

Zoloft really helped me, combined with Xanax as needed.

It really does depend on person and symptoms though. I was having awful panic attacks and it was only really after a combination of therapy and Zoloft, and this forum if I’m being honest, that really helped me.

Pristiq with Buspar. Prozac worked well for my depression but did nothing for my anxiety. As others said, meds affect each person differently. Folks also tolerate side effects differently too. It takes antidepressants about six weeks to build a steady state blood level to become effective. Those six weeks or so are usually when side effects are the worst before the body adjusts.

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
