1.) What have the results been on treating anxiety or panic attacks?
Lexapro is the first AD that I've ever been on. Been taking 10mg now for 3months for anxiety and panic. For myself, it instantly helped alleviate my anxiety and panic attacks. Though, I experienced some depression during the side effect phase. I've occasionally experienced some mild anxiety with Lex, but nothing compared to before.
2.) Were sexual side effects improved?
Since this is my first AD, I have nothing to compare this to. However, I went through decreased libido, etc. with lexapro for about the first 3-4 weeks. Yet, it is much better now!! Just another side effect that, thankfully, has gone away!!
I hope this works out for you. It's been a blessing for me and many others in the world of lexapro. Hang in there through the se's (if you encounter them), and good luck with the transition!
