> I was on Celexa for 3 months - I really liked what it did for my anxiety. I started taking SSRI's for Anxiety, and as a PostTraumatic Stress treatment. There were some mild sexual side effects, ohter than that everything was ok, except I was really shaky- almost as though I were shivering from the cold all day, my muscles were really tight. My Dr. suggested I try Lexapro - it was to have fewer s/e, and he thought I might maintain the good effects it was having on my anxiety while getting rid of the jitteriness. After two months on Lexapro - I have just switched back to Celexa. The Lexapro made my anxiety much worse, I went home with sore shoulders nearly every day, and i could not sleep. I was surprised at how anxious it made me - I was really unpatient, my jind was alwaysa racing, I was analyzing everything, I was intolerable in traffic etc.
> Has anyone else experienced this? I thought Lexapro was supposed to be better?


Same here!!!! Crappy sleep, imaptient, headaches from the stress. I too was told that Lexapro was better. I have yet to see how!!
Your not alone:o) I think I might go back to celexa as well.
Good Luck!
