  1. Lexarpo


  2. Everyone reacts differently to these meds, so it's a trial and error with most patients.  The side effects on paper are pretty much the same since they all act in similar ways in your brain.  However, you may find you have side effects with one that you don't have with another.  Again, it's sort of trial and error.

  3. When I used Zoloft I never had anxiety problems. Paxil was the awfulest medicine I ever used. Don't know about Lexapro.

  4. Hi, I am the author of http://panicattacksresearch.blogspot.com

    Do not worry, I am not spamming my site - my site don't sell products or anything. My site is solely dedicated to panic-attacks or people whom have anxiety. I give tips on how to sleep even if you have anxiety.

    Please do visit and post any questions there or here so that I can help you further.

    I have been a sufferer for 12-years and am doing well. My blog is dedicated to help. I will be updating my blog every 5-7 days on new ways to cope anxiety. I have just made few good entries on coping - I hope it will help you.

    I started out taking prozac 20mg daily.. then it dropped to 10mg and now I am just taking 5mg and still doing very well. I might be considering taking medication off my life.

    And most importantly, I am here to help you because I know how it feels to have anxiety or panic attacks.

    I have just posted a new entry and uploaded some good files for you to do some relaxation.

    All the best,

  5. Well, I take Zoloft, and it works fine, and my dad takes Lexapro, and that works fine for him, too.  My doctor told me that they are all essentially the same thing (seratonin) under different brand names.  Your doctor will prescribe the one they think is right for you.

  6. That depends on the person.  If you're considering taking an anti-anxiety med, you should ask your doctor for advice.

  7. ask a doctor. but my opinion is Xanax

  8. There is no 'right' answer. Since everyone is slightly different biologically it is impossible to know. But most antidepressants cause side effects. Some serious and some not. The only way to know how you'll react is to try one.

    If you are concerned about the side effects you might want to try a natural alternative treatment for anxiety such as Panicyl, Clarocet, or Relora.  These can work very well without side effects or risk of addiction and withdrawal.


  9. 1 in 5 people can't metabolize ANY of that POISON! it killed 2 people i know. stay away from all of it!

  10. zoloft

  11. Let your doctor decide that for u coz it is not just the adverse effects which determine which medicine u need.
