Scared to take my lexapro prescription?

Question

I have generalized anxiety disorder and moderate depression. I was put on citracal(i think rhats the name) a year ago. I endrd up having a major panic attack and refused to take it anymore (haopened after two weeks of use.) I held on to my xanax script as a decurity blanket (never actually took one just made me feel better) i flushed them when i got pregnant and had n problems until now. im 7 wks post partum and its come back full force. they put me on lexapro this time but im so scared to take them:( what are the  chamces i will have problems again? Anyone else have issues or not have issues? I guess i may be looking.for some reassurance. if anyone has a lexapro success story pls feel free to share. thank you

Hey,
I take Lexapro and it really helps me with my anxiety! I was put on it when my panic attacks got really bad and it worked really really well. I didn't get any side affects until I got moved up to 20mg and it just made me sedated. I think that lexapro will work well for you, It really seems to calm me down and makes me feel relaxed. I hope you don't get bad side affects. Good luck <3

I'm a 15 year old girl so 20mg was probably just to strong for me, I'm sure you wont get as sedated as I did, i really hope it works out for you :) x
