After taking Lexapro for more than a decade for generalized anxiety disorder and depression, I am looking for an alternative that doesn't have the GI side effects that Lexapro gives me. I was wondering if anyone who has had success with Lexapro has had success with any other antidepressants? Furthermore, I have only ever tried SSRIs and have never tried an SNRI. Is there anyone who has had success on Lexapro, also have success on an SNRI? Thanks in advance!

my favored alternative is welbutrin. I was on lexapro for many years and switched to welbutrin. It was very worthwhile
