Any experiences on Lexapro?

Medication & Side Effects

Finally had my doctor’s appointment anddddd it’s back to the waiting game.

I saw my pcp today after waiting for six months because her availability is so low and she was on maternity leave, and I told her about my adhd symptoms and how much they‘re literally ruining my life, then I asked for a referral to ”a psychiatrist or something” and she referred me to a neuropsychologist.

Then she said it’ll likely be months. I expected this, but it still sucks.

She did, however, start me on 5mg Lexapro just to try because my answers to the depression and anxiety questionnaires were both severe. I’ve heard that it can help with anxiety a lot, but my anxiety is literally the ONLY thing that helps me get ANYTHING done or stay on top of things at work and school, so now I’m worried it’ll just make my adhd symptoms much worse.

I was just wondering if any of you guys had tried Lexapro and if it helped make things better at all? Or if anyone has any tips to help me through the months of waiting (especially since it’s college application season and I’m already being avoidant when it comes to those)
