Hold on to your faith symptoms and conditions

Hello all!
I have been off of Yasmin now 14 months. All my physical symptoms have cleared up except eye floaters and a sinus infection. I feel great physically! However, I have just been diagnosed with anxiety disorder. I stay nervous pretty much all the time, although the panic attacks have subsided. My doctor gave me Lexapro, which I have not taken yet....I'm scared of it. In fact this doctor visit increased my anxiety by quite a bit just to hear that kind of news. Have any of you actually taken this drug or others? Do I really need it or will this nervousness subside as well? Is there anything else I can do that does not require medication?
I'm praying for all of you! Be strong and hold on to your faith!
