Absolutely! Medications unfortunately aren't a cure. There are going to be days when you feel awful. There are going to be days when you feel incredible. There will be days when you feel everything in between. If you're experiencing it for a prolonged period of time, I would discuss it with your doctor and see what the best options are. Maybe you just need a higher dose or maybe you need a new medication/combo of medication. It can be hard to find what works for you especially since we're constantly changing. Stay strong ❤️

Yes, in fact medication made me so lethargic I barely left my house and could not hold work. Once I quit after 10 years on 40mg Paxil, I felt so much more clarity and typically have more energy except during low times.
