In reply to Re: Fewer s/e with Lexapro - where's the evidence?, posted by Phil on September 6, 2002, at 8:27:35
Why is everyone so critical of Lexapro without even trying it or giving it a chance to prove itself????
Did it ever cross your mind that what Forest Labs says about Lexapro is true???????
Surely, Lexapro couldn't be less effective than Celexa.
I suspect that it's because we all have been disappointed by drugs in the past.
No one is forcing you to take Lexapro - No one is shoving it down your throat.
Why all of this pre-judgement?
We all know that the only way to judge a drug is to try it. Why shouldn't someone who is taking Celexa try Lexapro?????
Do you think Forest would risk its reputation of success with Celexa by introducing a dud into the market???
I started taking Lexapro yesterday evening??? Why? Because maybe it will help me. Maybe it will fit my condition. Yes, it's a crap-shoot, but I have no reason to disparage something that I haven't tried.
I have taken Celexa and found it to be one of the few drugs that really worked for me. But I stopped it because of unacceptable side-effects. I am looking forward to seeing if Lexapro is any more effective without those side-effects. I will let you know.
