SSRI’s and Career Success
I’ve been on Lexapro 10mg for anxiety for about three years. I graduated college in 2024 and am now moving from portfolio operations into a role at a PE fund in Europe.
I’m considering whether to eventually come off Lexapro. It has had both pros and cons for me, and I’m trying to think seriously about whether it still makes sense long-term. Of course, I’d only make any changes with medical guidance.
One concern I keep coming back to is whether being on an SSRI could somehow affect my ambition, drive, financial success, or career trajectory.
I’d be curious to hear from others who have navigated their careers while on SSRIs, especially those who may 10+ years into their careers:
1. Have you found that being on an SSRI affected your career performance, motivation, or long-term success in any meaningful way?
2. Am I wrong to think that being on medication like this could limit how successful I can be?
Would appreciate any honest perspectives, especially from people who have navigated demanding careers while on or after coming off SSRIs.
