Hey guys, I was glad to read your posts today on this subject. I am 50, only been an LVN for two years, work med surg, and going into the LVN to RN bridge in June. I'm taking the TEAS in a few weeks. I have such bad anxiety and stress and depression. I have fought not taking the Lexapro I was prescribed a year and a half ago (still haven't started it) and just keep suffering. But I am at the point where I don't think I will make it through another nursing program unless I get this anxiety under control. I literally get so stressed the night before I go to work I cannot sleep and have panic and anxiety attacks. What you guys have said makes me not feel so alone and like it's okay to take the medication. Oh, I also just went through menopause and have no hormones. Huh, nursing school and menopause, what was I thinking!!!! Thanks to all of you for sharing. You are my heros.

I have recently been admitted to the Clinical portion of an
Associates degree nursing program.
I have to fill out a Student Health Profile form, and submit
it with my acceptance form. I am currently taking medication
for depression.
Will taking this medication exclude me from the program?
