Mental Health Support

I had to taper off Fluoxetine last December and then go a week without anything before starting the Escitalopram so I'm familiar with withdrawal. The doctor did mention that I wouldn't have to taper off this one if I went back. It's been over a week since I took the Escitalopram - initially there was some crankiness, but I think I'm past the worst of it.

I am also using routine - have a list on my phone of things I don't normally do as often as I could, such as dishes, brushing teeth, making the bed, reading my gratitude list etc. and keeping track of how many I do each day. Last week I averaged 17 out of 28 per day (would have been higher but I spent a weekend somewhere else which disrupted the routine). So, this can be used as a quantifiable gauge of my daily mood, or a method of improving that mood, or ideally both.
