Little nervous to start taking it

PCP prescribed me lexapro since I have pretty bad anxiety and depression. I’m just very nervous to take it. I know serious side effects are very rare but I get pretty paranoid. I also don’t like the idea of having to taper off medication if I wanna stop taking it. I don’t necessarily want to take them but I feel like I need to, everything else I’ve tried hasn’t helped. Going to the gym and trying to build healthy habits hasn’t really helped and I’ve been going for almost a year. I’m a loser and don’t even have my license at 24 because of severe anxiety. I think regardless of how I feel about it I need to try it so I can get over this.

I have a vp shunt and my ortho wants to put a marpe in, will my vp shunt be an issue?

I will be contacting them on Monday when they open, I have had it for so many years with no issues I forget I even have it sometimes.
