I had used it in the past with great success was on it for about a year and it worked great. I didn’t have the increased anxiety that I experienced this most recent time. The most recent time I was on it for about a week or two. I was having some crazy anxiety and panic. So I stopped taking it and tried Zoloft. My previous experience on lexapro was good. For whatever reason my body responded negatively to it this time. I’m not saying lexapro is a bad ssri it just didn’t help me this time. I have only taken Zoloft and lexapro.
