Lexapro is an SSRI, wheras Valium is a benzodiazepine. Think of lexapro as a drug that will change your mood in the long term, wheras Valium is more of a quick fix. That is why it is prescribed for things like panic attacks and the like. Valium will give you a buzz, lexapro wont!

∙ 14y agoI take Lexapro for depression that runs in my family. It doesn't affect my ability to be myself. It just keeps me from always thinking negatively. Valium is like a nerve pill or anti-anxiety pill that makes you feel like you've had a few glasses of wine. I only take Valium in the evening to unwind after work and I only take 1/2 of a 5 mg or at the most, a 5 mg at least 2 hours before bed.
