> BrittThanks Britt. As for why I'm supposed to switch, Here's my situation: A mixed bag anxiety/OCD/depression problem that has been treated well. But I'm developing a real problem leaving the house-- kind of a hermit complex. Business trips, too. So I’m supposed to make the switch to Lexapro. But besides some sexual SE, Celexa works well for me, just not well enough to stop my decent into "hermitism." I don't know if Lexapro will either; that's why I'm hoping to hear from others who have made the switch. There's an arguement going on in another section of the board as to whether Lexapro is a real improvement over Celexa. Although I trust science and its studies, I'd like to hear from real people who've been there, ya know?
Cheers,
Justin
