I just took my first ever Lexapro a while ago, and my first ever medication for anxiety. Took me about a year to work up the courage to take them, and I was so terrified because of all the scare-mongering on the internet about the side effects...and I feel completely fine!! I know they won't work for about 2-4 weeks, but they don't seem to be having a negative effect yet!
So I'm... relieved I guess!
