Lexapro is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Lexapro affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause depression or anxiety.
Lexapro is used to treat anxiety and major depressive disorder.

Noe although both are SSRI's they affect different people differently and are compounded(made) differently, with minor variations. Otherwisethere would only be one SSRI.
Whether one works better than the other is a question that can't really be answered until an individual has used both medications. One may work for them, while the other doesn't.
That is why psychiatrist often have to change various medications and or dosages to find the right medication or combination of medications for an individual patient. This can be a lengthly process. It took me almost 6 years to find a combination which is currently keeping my conditions bearable.
Hope this answered your question.
