I've been on Lexapro (20mg) for almost a year and i've found that it has affected my ability to do creative writing (which is frustrating as I'm doing a masters degree in creative writing). At first, I thought it was 'writers block' but now i'm sure it's the Lexapro.

Though Lexapro has been great in helping my anxiety, I often feel emotionless and my mind is frequently blank. I'm usually an avid reader, but since going on medication, I have struggled with reading. It doesn't matter how many times I read a paragraph in a book, I struggle to understand it.

I've also found my motivation to be extremely low.

Is this it antidepressants/Lexapro that has turned my mind to mush? How do I combat this?
