Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are benefits of taking Lexapro over Effexor?
I have been on Effexor for over a year and have suffered from extreme weight gain, zero sex drive and ability to reach orgasm not to mention it's not really working anymore and I don't feel safe taking more I'm already at 225mg!
I wanted to know has anyone else suffered these side effects? And are Lexapro's any better?

Lexapro for me made me a little jittery at first, like I had 1 cup too much coffee. But after not being able to pry myself out of bed off-and-on for a couple months, I didn't mind it that much.
