Take a deep breath and remember that things will get better.
Have you started the Lexapro yet? Everyone responds to medication very differently and it's possible that 1.25 mgs could really help.
There are also things you can take with it to help minimize the side effects. When I started taking Lexapro I also took Xanax to help with anxiety. Maybe you could try a similar approach? In any case I'm sorry for your loss and I wish you the best of luck.
