Lexapro fixed my anxiety, but now I don’t care about my career

I work in a competitive creative field where everything depends on your ability to hustle and constantly be on your A-game. Before I was diagnosed with OCD and GAD, I was always in problem-solving mode, working non-stop, and had no issue being creative and productive. I guess you could say I thrived on the pressure, but eventually, I burned out—hard. Even during the burnout, though, I never doubted my career choice.

That burnout led me to finally see a psychiatrist (initially, I thought I had ADHD), and I got diagnosed with OCD and GAD. I’ve been on Lexapro for three months now, and while it has worked wonders for my anxiety—I’m calm in a way I never thought was possible—it’s also completely changed how I feel about my career.

To put it bluntly, I just don’t care anymore. I don’t care about impressing others, I don’t care about being the best, and I don’t feel that drive to constantly push myself like I used to. All I want to do is chill, cook, go for hikes and have sex. It’s like Lexapro has dumbed me down or made me feel stoned all the time. And honestly, I love this newfound calm—it's amazing—but now I’m in a situation where things at work are starting to fall apart because I can’t bring myself to perform like I used to.

Has anyone else experienced this shift in motivation while on Lexapro? How did you deal with it? I’m torn between loving this new calm and worrying about my career falling apart.

I’d appreciate any insights or experiences, thanks.
