My Doctor Put Me On Lexapro. I Took It 4

My doctor put me on Lexapro. I took it 4 weeks and suffered severe nausea, not able to sleep any at night etc.
He then put me on Effexor. I took it 3 weeks and suffered severe nausea, no sleep, elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure. He told me to stop taking it. I took Paxil for about 2 years and got off of it. Had good luck with it. If I did good on Paxil before do you think it will work again for me? My doctor doesn't seem to think so since it is in the same class asLexapro. I had bad panic attack about 3 months ago before I started taking anything.
