Celexa to Lexapro?

Posted by socalkris29 on October 11, 2003, at 1:17:46

Hi,

I'm new to this board, but I have an 8 yr. history with SSRI's. Started out on Prozac, on it for ~3mos. Stopped working and made me too jittery and sleepless. Switched to Paxil took for ~2yrs - stopped working. Switched to Celexa 20mg which was working great for 5 yrs except my husband's employer switched insurance companies and the new company considers Celexa non-formulary so I've now been taking 10mg Lexapro for ~3wks and I'm VERY irritable and exhausted all the time.

My issue is that if Lexapro is essentially the "same" drug with the lesser active isomer removed, why am I now having these awful side effects? Is this common? Has anyone else experienced this from celexa to lexapro?

Thanks!
