2 YEARS on Lexapro (escitalopram) Update: Progress, Life Impact, 'Chemical Imbalance' Theory

It is so hard to believe it has been over 2 years since I started Lexapro!! I've documented my entire journey here on Youtube and so many of you have been asking for an update and how I'm doing. In this video I'll talk about weaning off, the bouts of anxiety/depression I've experienced on Lexapro, the impact Lexapro has had on my life, and what I've been able to do since starting it. I'm so thankful for all of you for following along and sharing your comments about how my videos have helped you try medication and have eased your minds about starting. Medication for mental health is not a sign of weakness, it has allowed me to become my best self!
