What is Zoloft prescribed for?

Answer 1

What is Lexapro used for

Lexapro is one of a group of antidepressants that have similar actions. These are called the "SSRI" group, and they are used for simple uncomplicated types of depression, or in combination with other medication for less common types of depression.

Sometimes they are used for unofficial "off-label"problems, such as for hot flashes or anxiety. For all medicines, "Off-label" reasons for prescribing them are those that weren't approved by the FDA when the drug was licensed, but are sometimes helped by it and are prescribed anyway.

Answer 2

Mostly for depression - it is in the same group of drugs as Prozac. Lexapro can also be effective for anxiety and panic disorders.

It can also be used for a few other conditions such as OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) and social phobia.

Answer 3

I take 10mg of Lexapro once daily, for depression and anxiety. I took several other antidepressants that didn't work or had to many side effects. There have been times that my anxiety or depression have gotten worse because of family illness or daily stress and the Dr. upped my dosage to 20mg. I have taken this for 5 years and can't imagine my life without it. I still get occasional depression, but it is nothing like it was before.. Hope this helps
