Week one on Med for Anxiety/Depression

I've completed week one on generic Lexapro. I've dealt with anxiety and depression for years and finally decided to get some help for it.

This was not an easy decision as I am not in favor of taking medication for anything unless I really need to.

I've had only minimal side effects...a little sleepiness for the first 3-4 days. The benefit I'm enjoying already is improved sleep at night. I typically would wake up at 2 or 3am every night of my life and had trouble getting back to sleep.

I hope that if anyone else is dealing with these problems, don't hesitate to get some help with it.
