When Dan was diagnosed last year, I needed some immediate help. My doc put me on Xanax and Lexapro. The Lexapro didn't seem to do much for me one way or the other, however, I do take Xanax when I feel anxious and it helps me to not cry as much. I really haven't felt any side effects from either drug, but I do believe you need to give it time.
Hang in there! Deb
