What is another solution than Lexapro?

[BrittanyM1]

I went to the doctor and to make a long story short. I have slight anxiety and depression due to the fact I stayed stressed out and get mad over little things. He perscribed me 10 mgs of Lexapro.. however, after my obsessive thoughs of looking and reviewing on the internet. I have been asking is taking this medication worth it? I have read that people have horrible withdrawels coming off this medication...

Is there some other solution? Like another medication with less affects.
