Welcome, Flyblue!
Lexapro is an antidepressant. It takes a couple of weeks for the full effect of this med to be felt.

My mom was on it for several years after her diagnosis of dementia after a stroke. It made her much less anxious and helped ease her obsessive worrying about things she thought she'd done "wrong" in the past.
