Hi, has anyone tried lexapro for depression/ anxiety before? If you did, did it work?

My mom was taking Xanax since 2002 and now the doctor decided to start her on Lexapro, the worst part about it is that she is allergic to it, its on her allergy list. The doctor did not check to see if she is allergic or not.

@taLking5 It can be very effective at therapeuutic levels, but it will be most effective when used with talk therapy. Meds simply don't solve everything.

Keep in mind, medications like Lexapro may take up to six or eight weeks to reach a working level in a person, so don't give up out of the gate. Good luck.
