Hello!

I am a newbie. Lol. I was just diagnosed with anxiety/depression today (7/5/2018). My doctor put me on 5mg of Lexapro. I am a bit nervous.

Hello, Branda. Welcome to the community.
I think it is natural to feel nervous. Hopefully the prescription will work alright.

I've never taken medication for my anxiety or depression so I don't have much advice regarding that. But maybe someone else can help with that.

That is a relatively small dose so I don't think you have anything to be nervous about. All you need to do is keep an eye for any side effects that are not so pleasant. If that happens, just tell your doctor and he will change the meds to suit you. Finding the right meds can be a trial and error so go with the flow and I'm sure it will work out okay.

Hey doll! Don’t be nervous! Lexapro is a great medication and really helped me in the beginning of my anxiety/depression/ocd journey. Hope it works!
