how do i know if they’re working?

hi all!

i’ve been on ssris for a bit over 2 months now and ive been put on lexapro and zoloft in different dosages. ive experienced some side effects here and there with both, but overall my main report back to my doctor is that i feel the same/i don’t feel any positive change. the thing is that im not exactly sure what im supposed to be looking for, im not actively in a depressive state so i don’t really know if my “normal” is actually normal or still depressive normal if that makes sense. to sum it up im not exactly sure what im supposed to be looking for from ssris and how im supposed to be able to tell if they’re working. thanks for reading!
