In reply to Dr. Kramer - question about Lexapro, posted by Bill L on April 4, 2002, at 9:32:16
NO....I market Celexa. I know when Lexapro is out, your rep will not ask you to switch. #1 it's not ethical, if your patients are under control...stay there, #2 If you feel the side effects, or the drug-to drug interactions could be less...then switch. Forest is a strong/smart and ethical company...I just went to a national meeting where it was explicitly stated...not to encourage switching. #3 There is no monetary incentive for reps to suggest switching off Celexa to Lexapro either. (in fact, it will hurt)
