First time on medication

Hi everyone! I have suffered from anxiety ever since I was a child. I’ve finally had enough and decided to ask my doctor for medication as it’s gotten out of control. She prescribed me escitaloprám (everyday) and quetiapine (as needed).

I am taking 5mg of escitalopram a night for the first week the upping to 10mg the second week.

Does anyone have any personal experiences with these? Taking new medication gives me anxiety in itself which is why I’ve held off so long. But I can’t handle it anymore, it’s taking over my life.

Please no negative comments
