Hi. I am not depressed but have finally come to grips with having social anxiety. I have been to two months of talk therapy and although I enjoyed the sessions my anxiety was not getting better. My therapist actually recommended against meds if I didn't have too but I just couldn't stand it any longer. I saw my doctor and she recommended lexapro. The difference I am able to see in just one week may seem mild to some but I find myself being more friendly and less conscious of thinking people are judging me. I am happier and am truly glad that I started lexapro. I too was very hesitant about putting meds in my body and dont plan on being on it forever but while I continue therapy as well. If nothing else has worked for you give it a try. You just might find life a little easier to handle.
