if it increases synapse amounts of SE and NE and blocks some SE receptors than that sounds like Remeron
i've been on lexapro for 5 months, is it helping?, i'm not even sure anymore, i still get panic attacks and my GAD and OCD are still persistent, my psy doc and primary doc both encourage me to continue it and that i should take more (i'm taking 30mg and they want me to increase it to 40mg)
