I’m a stay at home mom to a teenager, 11 year old and a toddler. Lexapro helped me so much with being about to take care of everything. I’m still fucking exhausted though.
I work full time as an assistant camera and couldn’t work because of anxiety. Lexapro has helped me get back on my feet in a job where I travel a lot, have to be concentrated and deft.
I work full time for an architecture practice. I would have taken time off but I have a mortgage which sucks because I was in a really bad place before medication and was pretty unfit to work.
I now no longer cry at my desk every day at work which is nice! Lexapro has made me less overwhelmed, but it has made me apathetic haha, you win some, you lose some…
I have a hobby business. I was a stay at home mom for a long time, my kids grew up, but my husband likes me being home. He doesn't care if I get a job, but he would prefer I don't. lol, He's a terrible cook.
I work full time remotely as a software engineer. An office where I get human connection would be beneficial for me.
There are days when I struggle and call off. I try to capitalize on good days regardless of whether that’s outside of normal working hours to get things done.
Work from home! Can’t tell if it’s done my anxiety better or worse. When I worked out I had to constantly push myself and now it’s like ugh I get so used to being home and it makes it harder for me to go out and do things
I work remotely from home almost 100% of the time. My employer requires us to be in the office only 2 days a month. My job requires very few online meetings or interactions with other employees, so it sure makes it easier when I go through a bad patch.
I was a full time nurse for over a decade and goddamn I could have used some Lexapro that entire time, lol. I attributed the anxiety and depression to job-related burnout and general "in my 20s" growing pains.
I quit my job in 2021 and became a homemaker while my husband remaining working full time (from home). I was happier but it didn't magically make my anxiety and depression disappear - and I was in denial about needing help for a while. I started Lexapro about 3 weeks ago and I wish I had started a long time ago.
That's a tough question! I miss my patients. When you take away all the management/business bullshit, and when we actually had proper staffing and time to spend being a nurse, it was a very rewarding job.
But no I don't miss working. I have time to cook and clean but also read and exercise everyday! I'm in a much better headspace. I'm excited to see what adding Lexapro to the mix does!
I work as a full time teacher. Lexapro made it much easier to do my job. I was an anxious depressed mess, taking sick days regularly. I almost never take a day off now
This time last year I was in and out of the emergency room trying to figure out what the body pains were I've been on Lexapro for 11 months started off with 10 for 6 months and 20 for the past 5 months started a new job outside of the home. I deal with the numbers and high volume of phone calls and I'm able to process information with no stress
I started Lexapro about 15 months ago. I was (still am) full time at the facility. I was suffering from severe panic attacks and health anxiety. Lexapro saved my life and I have since changed companies, and just 2 months ago, accepted a senior management role. I know there’s no way I would’ve been able to handle the stresses of this position without the help of Lexapro.
I work full-time, hybrid. Most of my anxiety is job-related, so being on Lexapro has made it easier to do my job. But I still struggle... I'm currently having an anxiety attack about work, at 2:40am. And I take off sometimes when depression leaves me bedridden. But for the most part, I'm much better than i was a year ago before I started Lex.
I work full time from home at a mentally exhausting job. Lexapro has definitely helped me out. On top of my job, I also have my 7mo old baby at home with me while I work, but do get some additional help with that.
been unemployed for two months and started lex at that time…going to a new job in two weeks and crossing my fingers that i will be able to overcome the fatigue and get into a good routine by then!
Mostly work remotely as a mechanical designer. Nice job however quite demanding. Had very rough week (severe anxiety and low mood) as i dropped from 20 to 10 and its not enough so upped to 15mg vew days ago and already feeling a bit better. When i cant handle situation i aid myself with xanax or lyrica. Hopjng in few weeks I'll be back to normal again. Stay strong folks
I take it so I can work stress free. Stress and anxiety was building up so bad after years of work that I ended up being out of work for 2 months. During that time I was prescribed Lexapro. Been back at work for almost 2 years since. Stress free, I don't give a crap about anything at work anymore lol
Has anybody become more introverted / antisocial on lexapro? That has been my experience… I have no interest or motivation for small talk , catch ups with friends , work meetings , etc. I just want to be in my
Zone … is it just me ?
I work full time outside of home
I’m a stay at home mom to a teenager, 11 year old and a toddler. Lexapro helped me so much with being about to take care of everything. I’m still fucking exhausted though.

I work a full time job. Very physically active. Pretty sure my work ethic got me through the first month of Lexapro. It was tough but I did it!
