Karyou,
Lexapro is approved to treat both depression and anxiety. That being said, not every medication is appropriate for everyone. Lexapro is likely to work better in some people than others. As I mentioned in my other post, Lexapro can take up to six weeks to reach its maxiumum effects, so be patient if you don't notice a difference overnight.
Best of luck,
Casey
