also she keeps talking about just going to a clinic instead of the mental health facility i go to now since its cheaper and they kind of don't do much . I've heard most normal health clinics just sort of guess on what to give you. i have no clue what I'm actually gonna do sooo...
You may just need to add something. Since the Lexapro is helping the depression it makes sense to keep taking it. Talk to your healthcare provider about adding an additional medication to help with the anxiety. Also, have you tried cognitive behavioral therapy? That really helped me with my anxiety.
