Anyone try lexapro? I know everyone responds to meds differently.. but I’ve been dealing with GAD and Panic disorder for 6 years it’s starting to get really out of control and I don’t know if I can beat this alone anymore. Just looking for some input

I did try lexapro, it gave me more anxiety and panic attacks. Not to scare you, but it just wasn't for me. My best advice is skip the med carousel and have a gene test done like genomind to guide your doctors in prescribing. That test worked wonders for me and it stopped the try this try that pattern I was on. Give the lexapro a try, I know some people swear by it, it just wasn't for me. Goodluck.

I had the usual side effects, very sleepy, very flat, sex lasted hours and sometimes never ended... but after the two / three weeks I was myself again
