Re: Should I switch from CELEXA to LEXAPRO ??

Janelle, I am doing a bit better on Lexapro (20 mg) than on Celexa (60 mg). I have less sexual side effects, less day time tiredness, and feel mentally sharper. But everyone is different when it comes to drug side effects. Both have been excellent in relieving my anxiety and depression.

Since you are doing well on Celexa, I would strongly urge you to stay on it. I see no reaon for you to switch to Lexapro. Good luck!

> I am having good results with Celexa, the pre-cursor to Lexapro (what a difference from EffexorXR, which had me swinging like a pendulum)

> I'd consider switching to the *purer* Lexapro, but there's that saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." In any case, I will ask my pdoc next appointment about possible switch - I kinda feel like why take a med (Celexa) with a bunch of inactive ingredients when I can take the same basic formulation without them, with only the WORKING ingredients?

> Any feedback, ideas welcomed ... thanks.
