After a couple weeks of 5mg escitalopram my anxiety was effectively gone and this continues after months of treatment.
Placebo? Don't think so because I didn't really have much hope in it in the first place
I know it's anti-anxiety medication so this effect isn't exactly amazing but it's worked better than any other medication for anxiety (obviously apart from stuff like benzos but that can't be used long term)
Yes I know SSRIs are frowned upon here, I'm not recommending anybody try or use SSRIs, just sharing my personal experience, not medical advice, etc.
