> I have been taking Lexapro for one month now for panic attacks/generalized anxiety and am feeling the same way. I know that I love my wife and two young children, but the feeling just isn't there. I don't know if this is due to the medication or my condition- but I want it to stop. I am having a hard time dealing with this - it is really worrying me - I thought worry was the one thing lexapro was supposed to help with- My panic attacks are gone - but I feel left with an empty shell of the person I used to be-
I'm taking zoloft (50mg), had some of the same feelings. My shrink let me add buspar (30mg) back in (I was on it before the zoloft). I'm doing much better. Anxiety and depression are gone, I'm horny most of the time again. Still a little tired feeling though. For me it's close to being a miracle drug. For the first time in my life I really feel "normal".
