Prozac users experience on Lexapro

Posted by james_schmidt on July 15, 2003, at 10:39:24

I would like to hear from some people who has had success with prozac and then switched to lexapro. Was your mood similar? Was Sexual Problems less? Do you prefer lexapro over prozac?

Thanks

I had a great response to prozac for 10 years...then
it pooped out on me. I've tried a lot of other ssri's
(including celexa) and didn't do as well on them. Lexapro
is what I'm on now, and although I don't feel quite as great
as I did on prozac...it's better than the rest of them in terms
of side effects, as far as I'm concerned. I feel a little
more tired on it than I did on prozac....but the sexual side
effects are less. Another thing I like about it in that
regard is prozac stays in your system for a month or so after you
quit taking it...so you could never do the "drug holiday" thing for
sex...that's not a problem with Lexapro...sometimes I stop in on Thurs. and
by the weekend, I've completely regained my sexuality. Even if I didn't
do that...it's still one of the best ssri's for least sexual side effects
(at least for me, everyone's different).

Other than sleepiness and a mild sexual side effect...I have no side effects
from Lexapro. Of course I"m on a really low dose...5 mgs.
