Hi Vincent,
Escitalopram is currently available in Europe under the name Cipralex. It will probably be available in this country under the name Lexapro in June. My pdoc wrote me an rx for Cipralex and I ordered it from a pharmacy in Switzerland, Victoria Pharmacy, one of the only reputable online pharmacies in the world (you must have an rx and they do not ship illegal drugs). Victoria Pharmacy's website is www.pharmaworld.com.
I tried Cipralex, but I am probably not the best person to talk to about it because ssri's have never been very helpful for me. You might do very well on it, however. It does seem to be somewhat less sedating than Citalopram/Celexa, but other than that, I couldn't see much difference. You have to take about half the number of milligrams that you would take if you were taking Celexa because escitalopram is supposed to be twice as potent.
