THERE are multifarious drugs available in the US demand for the treatment of depression. Two extremely used drugs are: Lexapro (escitalopram) and Paxil (paroxetine). A numeral of studies have been conducted to approach the usefulness of these two drugs. All-inclusive, it has been observed that Lexapro scores all over Paxil in the matters of efficacy and play in the treatment of both cavity and generalized anxiety disorders (GADs). Lexapro and Paxil belong to the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) family of drugs that are used in the treatment of depression and generalized anxiety disorders. They help restore the serotonin balance in the brain (serotonin is the mood-influencing neurotransmitter in the central nervous system) and thus help the patient feel better.

    • I know 2 people who have had success with Lexapro. Both didn't respond to other antidepressants at all. It also seems not to have too many side effects.
