Hey! I was on Lexapro for a while back when I was 13-15. It definitely helped with anxiety some but I had no change in my depression but as a young teen I couldn’t express that. I think it can be pretty common for this to happen. My mom and brother had the same experience and were switched to a different medication, as was I.
