A member asked:
Is lexapro (escitalopram) one of the best anti anxiety drugs in the market today?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lexapro (escitalopram) has FDA: Indications for generalized anxiety disorder ; major depressive disorder. It is an excellent medication but there are also other ssri's that are very effective in treating anxiety. See you already take xanax (alprazolam). It works very differently than taking a benzodiazapine.
