I'm suffering from Anxiety with slight depression. Thank you

    Hey guys, I'm Tiffany and I'm new here. I just started lexapro today at 5mg for severe anxiety and newly noticed depression. I'm having many of the side effects you all mention, but I do plan to wait it out because I cannot continue at this pace. Nice to meet you all!
