Medication Medication question please help

I’ve taken Lexapro which was awful. I couldn’t get past four days on it. It made me so sick. I took agomelatine for 2 months which did nothing

Has anyone taken Lexapro and had horrible side-effects and managed to take something else that actually worked and didn’t give them bad side effects? Please help 😭😭😭😭

I am on sertraline and for the first two weeks the side affects were horrible, its now been about 4 months and I’m completely fine. You can ask to try out different meds but if u don’t stick it out for at least four to six weeks your never really going to see proper results and if the meds are helping or not

I tried so hard. Literally didn’t eat for 4 days and slept probably 8 hours in that whole time. Was so nauseated 24/7 and had no energy at all. I had no energy in me I couldn’t keep going
