I appreciate your input. I asked my therapist specifically about the medication option and he explained a lot. He explained how anxiety and depression go hand in hand. So, I see why I was prescribed Lexapro.

Now, I have to get passed my concern over 2 things. Withdrawal symptoms, which apparently can be troublesome for some patients AND
Sexual side effects. I’ve read that the med can cause loss of ability to have orgasms, which could be permanent! How is this possible? I can’t take that risk. That is too important to me. Are there other options?
