Hey, this is great news!
I am in a similar place, about
18 days on Lex 10mg and two weeks of 5mg before that. I hear you on the initial period being rough. But it's so awesome that you were able to keep going! I mean it, that's not easy to do and you should be proud of yourself!
I hear you on the drinking thing as well. I also like a glass of wine or a beer, but now that the Lex is starting to help with my anxiety and my side effects are getting bearable, I don't want to do anything to rock the boat. And yeah, diet is important. Sushi is so good! And bananas, oh yeah
Lexapro is starting to help me and I hope it will be the same for you
