Prozac vs. Lexapro

[dandelion5]

Maybe someone can ease my mind here. I've been kind of obsessing about the fact that I chose to take Prozac over Lexapro. I had read that Lexapro had cardiac side effects, and having had SVTs in the past, I opted to take Prozac (again for a second time.) I keep replaying that decision in my mind wishing I had taken Lexapro instead. I do see on here that some people have gotten PSSD from Lexapro too though. Are they equally likely to cause PSSD? Maybe hearing that would help me stop focusing on it so much.

In general, I need to forgive myself for taking an SSRI. It's really unhealthy, but I just have so much regret...

I got PSSD from Lexapro and it made me almost impotent for 3 months. I'm lucky that my body is recovering and I am getting windows. So basically both of them are shit. Stay away from any SSRI is what I'll suggest. Also SSRI's didn't do anything positive for my mood. Infact it negatively affected my mood and I feel much better off it than on it.
