I'm surprised, zoloft kicks butt for social and generalized anxiety and gives you more energy, however I heard lexapro has the least side effects so u may be fine and I'm sure there will be some lexapro fans coming along here shortly

Good luck to you and please keep us posted on how u make out and how it works for you.

I had horrible headaches on lexapro but it didn't make me dizzy really. Zoloft has been amazing for my anxiety. I'm feeling a hundred times better lately.

My doc told me to just replace the Zoloft with lexapro. Is that right. To just stop Zoloft all together. Will I withdrawl. I'm freaking out
