In reply to Zoloft Vs. Lexapro, posted by Rayray on December 16, 2006, at 14:25:03
I liked zoloft a lot better than lexapro. I felt some improvement from both of them on the first day, but zoloft's improvement was more pronounced and encouraging and enduring. Lexapro worsened my depression over time. Zoloft improved it. Lexapro was just too much pure serotonin action for me. Zoloft has a bit of dopamine action to it that I like.
My main problem with zoloft was the same as all ssri's though maybe not quite as bad as the others. That is, flatness of emotions, blah. Not depressed really, but not happy either.
What symptom would you like to improve? Is it the blahness? If so, I know of a few good meds that go excellent with ssris for that. Or is there some other specific symptom you want to target?
