      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.
