No, it is an SNRI. SNRIs act to both serotonin and norepinephrine whilst SSRIs only to serotonin. Venlafaxine (Effexor) is thought to be stronger than SSRIs but may have more side effects due to its double action. In doses over 225mg, it has some moderate action to dopamine.

What does lexapro show up as on a drug test?

Lexapro should not show up on a drug test. Most drug testing are only testing for illegal substances and pain killers. Since Lexpro is not an illegal drug or narcotic, there should not be any way for it to show up on a test. A test to detect Lexapro would most likely be very specific and not part of any standard drug test. I just passed a preemployment drug test on lexapro.I thing the only way you could fail is if they were doing a specific test for it.
