A member asked:

I have anxiety. zoloft made me dizzy and gave me low blood pressure 90/65. would lexipro likely give me less side effects? any advice what to ask my doctor for?

Anxiety: I am not a fan of SSRI medications for anxiety. I would first try taking the supplement L-theanine 100-200 mg twice daily. If sleep is an issue, at 5-htp 150 mg at bedtime. Also, avoid sugar and highly processed food as they can feed anxiety in many people.

Zoloft/ Lexapro: Althought both Lexapro and Zoloft are excellent medications, I tend to prescribe Lexapro more often because it is more favorable in terms of side effects.
