I am starting lexapro for my anxiety. I am just starting so I can't tell you whether it works or not. As far as taking things, I am not keen on taking things either. I was prescribed the lexapro 3 weeks ago but was too scared to take it because of side effects and what not. It has taken me 3 weeks to work up to it and take it so I know exactly what you mean. I finally decided to do it because I am no longer the person I used to be and the longer I wait the worse I get. It is not for everyone and I have been a firm believer of doing things naturally but I have come to the point where I believe it may be a chemical thing and out of my control. You see, I take vitamins, I see a psychologist, I get exercise chasing around a one year old, I am doing this program, keeping a journal, and trying to be positive. I eat healthy and live a very healthy lifestyle but that doesn't seem to be enough. I have truly given this all that I have in trying to get rid of my anxiety. I finally decided I needed to give the medicine a try. I am hoping the medicine can help me even further and that I will be able to get off of them within one year. Let me know how the accupuncture goes. I am willing to give that a shot too ;). Stay strong and good luck with everything.
