Started Lexipro again today
I stopped drinking a few weeks ago and it has been hell. I am sure I was self medicating and without it my anxiety went though the roof. I went to the dr today. I convinced myself that I had cancer, liver damage, diabetes, and every negative result on a blood test there could be. This has been so hard, but I know when I was on lexipro before it was the only anxiety med that actually helped me. I am hoping it helps again.... I don't want to drink anymore. That only hurt me.

I'm glad you're taking positive steps for improvement and sobriety. Please remember that meds and alcohol don't mix well in most cases. Taken responsibly, SSRI's and other medications can be a tremendous aid in our recovery.

I just started lexapro again yesterday. Been off it for 3 weeks but had anxiety and deression. didn't feel myself so went back on it again. I was hoping that I would be able to stop finally being on it but looks like I will need to be in a more stable position when I come off it, as I have been dealing with stopping drinking (now 73 days).
