Everyone is constantly being told that Lexapro is better than citalopram. The result of this is that people report better results with it. The psychological effects of believing that you are on a superior product are very strong.
I am now on Lexapro instead of citalopram. I do seem to be feeling better, but I cannot prove that this is due to the switch. I will stay on it anyway.
Just as an aside, escitalopram is not a metabolite of citalopram, it is one of citalopram's optical isomers. A 20mg tablet of citalopram (Celexa) contains two forms of citalopram: 10mg of escitalopram and 10mg of R-citalopram.
