Switching from Lexapro to Viibryd?

I'm having a hard time getting on Lexapro to treat a anxiety / panic attack disorder, as I know many people do, not to mention the libido effect. I took a gene test which suggested Lexapro has a "moderate" gene drug interaction. Out of the ones that were in the "Use As Directed" category, my therapist suggests I try Viibryd. Can anybody relate their experience using Viibryd for anxiety, especially those that have tried Lexapro as well?

    I am on 40 mg of Lexepro currently and my libido is just fine. I have been on lexepro for over 2 years and never had a problem in the libido area. Maybe its just an individual reaction to the lexepro that doesnt affect us all. Some medications dont work for certain people. Chemistry could be different. What works for you may not work for me and so on..... good luck.
