Hi reddit,  I finally took my psychologist's advice and talked to a psychiatrist about my anxiety. She recommended and I agreed to try a generic version of lexapro for daily anxiety and depression treatment, along with a hydroxyzine prescription that I'm suppose to take if I'm having trouble falling asleep or am in the middle of a panic attack. I've always been scared of taking medication for my anxiety because I've heard it can lead to addiction or worsening symptoms. 

Has anyone tried either of these medications? How did they affect you? Are you happy you tried them and are you still on them? 

I would appreciate any info! Currently waiting to go get my prescription and of course I'm nervous lol
