In reply to Lexapro/Celexa....who's tried both???, posted by nicky847 on January 8, 2004, at 9:29:55
Good thread. I've wondered the same thing myself. I was on 40mg of celexa and felt that was effective. My doc thought that I may benefit from changing over since I'd been on celexa for about 4 years. He had samples and recited, pretty much word for word, the sales literature from Lexapro and sold me on it.
Honestly? I can't tell the difference. I may go back on a celexa product when it is available as generic drug to help save on cost.
I look forward to reading other posts on this.
> I would like to get feedback from people who have been prescribed both Celexa and Lexapro (not at the same time DUH ;p).. and hear about whether you feel these two meds are truly the "same"...

> not to steer anyones comments but I find Lexapro to be alot more activating than Celexa was(Ive been on it for 6 weeks), and since I take it primarily for anxiety disorder and panic attacks (with secondary depression), I dont particularly like that..however I have found it very effective for depression..
