I had horrible panic anxiety attacks, and
stomach problems on paxil and effexor.
Elavil made me terribly irritable. I am
thinking of either prozac or lexapro. I
suffer from moderate depression and
anxiety. I need something that won't make
me totally wired and anxious. Anyone who
has tried both or either, your opinions,
I am med sensitive, but I know everyone is
different, but if I can't tolerate the
side effects, I cannot take for 3-4 wks or
so.

Prozac.... Posted: 02-02-07 10:48am
Prozac did absolutely nothing for me
except a bad taste in my mouth. No
difference at reg. Dosing. Zoloft has
worked well (i need a high dose). At 50
mg......Nothing
100mg.....Less ocd,mood swings (side
effects though)
150mg.....Gained 35 lbs. And sweated
constantly and shook alot
100mg. Makes me shake all the time like I
have parkinsons, but to me, it's worth it.
Without it, I am a monster to live with.
Hope this helps....

There has been many good things said about
lexapro. I took it for my ruminating
thoughts that would spin me downwards.
It totaly helped me not focus on bad
things in genral. For me I found no
sideeffects. I've heard others not being
able to really sleep on it and what not.
Also, for some reason I find it super hard
to belive that people can be on more than
one medicaiton. The body is
sensitive...Even more so with a chem
imballance/mood disorder.
