Summary
Posting in long-COVID forums in late 2023, they described adrenaline dumps and a nervous system that would not settle. They started a generic Lexapro 5 mg and said the surges were less intense, though the dose might need raising. A month later they reported that SSRIs and propranolol had calmed the adrenaline dumps and their nervous system.
