i was on setraline for 5 months it seemed to make me super anxious but i didnt notice until i went off it last week withdrawal sucked for a few days so i went to the doc she told me to give lexapro a shot for anxiety and it has been working but not so much for depression like zoloftdid it made me feel happy and motivated...even though anxious and super hungry because i chose to come off benzos i was on them for 4 months until i realized how sedated they made me and whenever i wasnt on them i kept craving them..now im on lexapro day 2 have felt tired nauseous and drymouth along with some mood swings and decreased appetitei don't know if maybe it's time to stop antidepressants alltogether give lexapro a shot or go back to zoloft im also scared this will have sexual side effects zoloft didn't but i havent felt sex drive these past few days anyone had any expieriences with these 2 meds? or switched from one to the other?
 
Give the lexapro a chance for a couple weeks if u still feel the same than switch. I was on lexapro for two years I found taking a multi vitamin every day helped and the sex drive thing at least for me went away over time. I love lexapro and it helped me.
