Count me as someone that it seemed to help.

That being said it was a huge struggle adjusting to it (3 months) and had a failed attempt at a different anti depressant. I am still struggle with symptoms but having improved mood allows me to manage much better.

I started on 10mg of lexapro for anxiety/depression about a year ago, shortly after a major setback, I think it sort of helped with the visceralness of my anxiety, but overall I'm not sure it's been overwhelmingly helpful. I'm actually in the process of slowly tapering off it now. I sort of just want to see what it feels like without it, as I'm not really convinced it's helping all that much.

It's not uncommon for AD's to be offered to PCS sufferers as concussion upsets the brains chemistry, which eventually evens out by itself, but I think AD's can speed up the process.

I was offered them at one point but toughed it out without them because I've never taken them before. Now I realise how bad I was back then I think I should have taken them as I reckon it could have speeded up my recovery. Depression and anxiety is an insidious condition which is why we don't always realise we have it.

From the experience of friends it seems it can take several tries before you get prescribed the right one and correct dosage. The down side of AD's is having to eventually taper off them, again there are different ways of tapering to suit the individual.

I should note that I haven't experienced any noticeable side effects beyond the first few days. This could be because I'm taking what my doc called a "baby's dose".
