"i&#039;ve suffered from severe social anxiety and depression for quite some time. i was always terrified of going on pills and wanted to figure it out mentally. i always denied i needed help. it&#039;s gotten so bad recently that i struggle to leave the house. i&#039;m only 17!! i went to the doctor and he prescribed me 10mg of lexapro. i&#039;m an emetophobic and one of the possible side effects was nausea so that was almost a deal breaker for me. i don&#039;t think i&#039;ve experienced real side effects apart from difficulty reaching orgasm and headaches. my phobia makes me feel like i&#039;m gettin side effects when i&#039;m not- good old anxiety. been on them for 2 days and am praying it gets better."
