Hi Linda,

Just a guess here OK? Prozac was the only SSRI that I ever responded to and got very close to full remission for almost two years (before poop-out). Took Zoloft at 200mg for 4 months with no response. Both Prozac and Zoloft can be activating for people (I have no anxiety - essentially brain dead) so if you have anxiety and you are convinced SSRIs are right for you Lexapro might be your most conservative next move. I never took Lex. so I can't give my opinion. Lex. has been the longest running topic I have seen on this board - lots of comments both pro and con.

I can understand your concern about benzos but it is probably more harmful to your brain to tolerate excessive stress and anxiety than it is to take the benzos. I have been taking Klonopin for 15 mos. @ 0.5mg for sleep. It gives me no eurphoria but does help me sleep - I like the long half life.

Wish you the best,
