I don't think I'll get into trouble for asking this, since I've spoken with my doctor and am not asking you all for medical advice. Hopefully I won't, anyhow. :]
I have generalized anxiety disorder. It's not so awful that I can't leave the house, but it's still difficult to do so, enough that I really don't except for a few times a week. Talk therapy hasn't worked. I'm only twenty, but I already feel that the problem's set me back a few years from where I really should be, and so I talked to my doctor. She perscribed Lexapro at 10mg pills each. Because I'm afraid of just taking the medicine, I'm easing into it. Quarter of a pill for four days, half pills for a week, then full pills for a few more weeks.
Does anyone have any good experiences with this medicine to share? I normally wouldn't ask here, but only people who've had this problem really fully understand it, and I don't know any locally. Hopefully somebody knows things to ease my fears about taking the pill. My doc really wants me to, and I kinda want to as well. :)
