It's been around since the early aughts. I was on it, and can confirm that meditation works better. (allow me to be a data point) Edit: also, meditation has far fewer negative side effects

CBD oil is also fantastic, and together they make life feel worth living sometimes!

I guess my data point cancels out yours. I've had the opposite experience on this drug. Glad you found something that works!

Thanks, stranger! I'm genuinely glad it worked for you! Ideally, everyone should be able to access a solution. And I love being able to have an open discourse about mental health 🤜🤛

You’ve never heard of Lexapro? Very popular SSRI

Yes, I've heard of Lexapro. I heard about it from OP's comment. :)
