Why are you looking for success stories? Those drugs are powerful, mess up your brain chemistry, and you will go through withdrawal when you quit. They don't call it that. They call it "discontinuation syndrome" because supposedly your body doesn't become physically dependent on the drugs. Read up on that shit before you start. If you haven't tried every possible lifestyle change, if you are making excuses not to, then you're just here looking for an excuse to do legal drugs for a while. Want to know a neat side effect of Lexapro? Suicide. If you're into Russian Roulette, then ok.
What does this even mean? Who told you six months from now you'll be better if you take an SSRI and change nothing else? The doctor who gets a kickback from the drug company every time he prescribes that shit?
This casual approach to psychotropic pharmaceuticals is fucking up our civilization more by the day. Get more sun, get a light box, change your diet, stop drinking alcohol, stop drinking caffeine, go do strong lifts five times a week, and take responsibility for your own mindfulness. "As I think, so I am." That shit is in the bible for a reason.
If you're being honest, and none of that works, get your T checked. I am not a doctor, but there are a thousand things to do before fucking up your brain with fucking Lexapro.

I may need to take it again, or Lexapro for a 3-6 month span.
