What is an alternative for lexapro

my boyfriend is supposed to take lexapro everyday & if he does not he is a completely different person, & not in a good way. He needs it to deal w/ everyday stresses. Otherwise he will stress about EVERYTHING (ex. how I do the laundry & how its not how he would do it & he doesn't understand why I do that way) he doesn't like lexapro because it causes him trouble sleeping, difficulty climaxing, & makes him feel foggy, so he is refusing to take it, even though he NEEDS it. He wont go talk to the doctor, he has done some research and thinks he knows all there id to know. Unfortunately when he doesn't take it he is very unreasonable, & stubborn, & its very hard to get to listen to anyone. I need help because the stress just keeps building & he cant deal w/ it on his own, & I dont want it to get to the point where he snaps, like he has done before. (hes not violent he just gets depressed & could get suicidal) Is there another pill that will have the benefits he needs w/out the side effects? Or, is there something he can take w/ the lexapro to counter act the side effects? Please help me help him!!
