I take sertraline 50mg. I feel AMAZING! My anxiety and depression have basically gone and I have no side effects. I, like you, was terrified to take them, but I can say that it was the best thing I gave done!! I felt a tiny bit dizzy for one hour on the first day, but obviously your body is just finding out what it is that you are taking. They don't have full effect for 2 weeks so I would advise you to take them ASAP! Please do, you will be really pleased with yourself and you will feel so much better :) Good Luck and I hope you take my advice :)

That risk is almost next to NOTHING. Why did you stop lexapro? They both work great for anxiety if you take them DAILY for atleast 2 or 3 months. If you keep switching and stoppin meds you will never stabilize.
