I've never taken Lexapro. As for Prozac I take the generic form of it Fluoxetine 80 mg total two 40 mg capsules in the morning among other medications. I haven't had a bad experience with it but everyone is different.

It helps my mom's depression and she hasn't had a bad experience, also I have a female relative that's biologically related that takes it and she has not had a bad experience either rather it has helped her. But again some people are different.

I wish I could be of more help and offer more advice.

I hope that my post helps at least some.

Mental Health Medications:

Lithium two 300 mg tablets = 600 mg in the morning two 300 mg = 600 mg at night total 1200 mg.

Fluoxetine/Prozac two 40 mg capsules total 80 mg in the morning

Prazosin two two mg capsules =four mg in the morning four five mg capsules = 20 mg at night total 24 mg (High Blood Pressure Medicine for Night Mares, This is actually quite a high dose for a female for night mares, but my blood pressure is fine.)

Quetiapine/Seroquel two 300 mg tablets total 600 mg at night.

The above medications are prescribed by a Pschychiatrist.

I also take some other medications some of which are taken as needed. That are not for my mental health that are prescribed by my Family Doctor that are not listed here.

Of Course my Family Doctor is aware and at least has on his office's computer system what medications my Psychiatrist is prescribing and my Psychiatrist has on his office's computer what my Family Doctor is prescribing. Which is as I am sure many people already know, very important.
