Hesitant to start my perscription.

I’m sure this is a normal feeling for some but I feel like I’m giving up by taking medication. My therapist of over 2 years recommended it for the first time in my last session and I got prescribed from my doctor today, picked it up but haven’t started. I don’t have massive anxiety panic attacks or crippling depression but I do have situational stress that I won’t bore you with and probably mild depression. Every day feels very dull I’m unable to feel happiness or get very sad I never get angry, people say I speak very monotone. When my kids and /or wife playfully make fun of me and talk like me they just speak like Eeyore from Whinnie the Pooh.

I’m also very skeptical about perscription drugs usually try holistic approach first. Friends keeps insisting I should do things like meditate look at Testosterone instead, I already eat right and work out almost everyday. I just want to feel life, the good and bad and it feels like I physically can’t at the moment.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and had positive results on lexapro?
