hello love! definitely not normal— especially after the first 4-6 weeks while your body is getting used to the meds. i’d suggest talking to your doctor about your symptoms, for me i experienced insomnia and a terrible lack of appetite with Lexapro. sometimes we need to experiment with different medications— not all of them are meant for us! good luck 🙏🏼🙏🏼
