Meme 's aside, SSRIs can be a blessing. I'm experiencing it right now.

    They really can be. Even tho escitalopram made me feel numb that was still a better mood than before I was taking it

    That's what I had heard before and also that it takes a while to start working so I was quite surprised when I finally hopped on it myself. It's only been a few days so big caveat here but: I already felt the first pill of 20mg. So much so that I asked my GP to go down to 10mg and I feel that too. And the feeling is reminiscent of an MDMA roll "afterglow" (as it's sometimes called). Just a happy feeling in my stomach for hours and hours, coloring the thoughts that come to my head and making everything seem easier and lighter.

    I wonder if it will stay like this or whether this is just a particularly pleasant adjustment period.

    Oh I definitely know what you're talking about, I've done xtc multiple times when I was younger and the first day I took escitalopram it was like I had taken a very low dose of xtc. For me that only happened on the first day, tho

    Good to hear that they're working for you tho! Keep at it
