Celexa is a great drug. I was on it for a couple of years before switching to Lexapro. I gradually moved up to 60 mg of Celexa with excellent results. I am now on 20 mg of Lexapro and doing great. I feel a bit sharper mentally on Lex than I did on Celexa. Also, the sexual side effects are a bit less for me on Lexapro. Both drugs have been really great for both my anxiety and depression.
Edgefield - Prozac is also a terrific drug. I was on it for 2 years. However, I felt less daytime tiredness when I switched to Celexa and then to Lexapro. Also, I have less sexual side effects now. My advice to you is to stay with Prozac. Everyone is different when it comes to side effects. If you do encounter bad side effects in the future, then you might consider switching. But as far as I'm concerned, beating depression is worth having the side effects.
