Lexapro is well studied, well tolerated, and a reasonably effective treatment comparable to other SSRIs.

The HHS will issue advisory memos, and there will be fewer free pens and your doc will have to ask you if you're taking enough vitamin D or ivermectin, but then you'll get your Rx.

I get anxiety over my xanax not being renewed, which is an ouroboros of mental illness happening.
