My doctor recommends I go on lexapro. My wife is worried about it. Looking into it I kinda am myself as well. The idea seems to be to raise seratonin but then the brain adapts and it will take more and more adaptation and so on. The higher it gets the more problematic going off is going to be. This kinda feels unsustainable to me. What opinions do people have who have used them or decided not to. I know specifying folks seems wierd but a lot of people see posts from all and don't take into account the community they are in.

I'm on setraline. Saved my life. Unsustainability is a long-term problem. Surviving now is the most important. I'm sure there will be issues coming off it eventually but if you need something then you just have to take it.
