If there were any difference between citalopram and escitalopram the side-effects would have decreased and this would have been a major finding. It is noticeable by its absence.

>Here is the actual link to what Dr. Dave is referring...Raines did a study checking for people switching from the less powerful 20mg of celexa to the stronger 10mg of Lexapro...as well as other mg switches...the last 2 paragraphs says it all (thanks for the post Dr. Dave) But it sounds like you again dont agree with the findings.
