Scott, the matter still seems unclear to me at this point as well. I have been back on celexa for about 2 months now after giving Lex a go for 4 months. In terms of daytime somnolescence, my past experience has been that 2.5 mg of Lexapro is slightly less sedating than 10 mg of celexa. Unfortunately, I could not tolerate either 40mg of celexa or the rough equivalent of 10 mg Lex, so I'm a poor person to offer judgement at regular therapeutic dosages. What I do know is that Lexapro induces anxiety and the celexa has much more "euphoric" mood effect for me.
I have recently re-added an augmention of 30mg of remeron. For the heck of it, I am planning an upcoming week's substitution of the celexa again for 2.5 mg of Lex to see if it might be useful now that I'm on the mirtazapine as an augmentor. I'll be sure to post any further results I glean from this.
