> I don't believe either of you are out for ulertior motives like some believe. I do believe that two people can have conflicting ideas with perfectly good, altrusitic motives. I mean we're not talking "absolute truths" here but effects of a certain medication that may or may not prove what it is hoped to do.

> Both of you aren't masquerading under misleading usernames as what you do - pharmrep says it & so does dr.dave. But due to opposite viewpoints, this sounds too much like an argument to me.
>
> Please, I'm only interested in facts & some conjecturing based on solid information. I very much appreciate any links given & read them over as objectively as I can. Please continue with any relevant info you find.
>
> Pharmarep, you say you only have hard copy studies (nothing online available). Could you not scan the papers in a word document form & then copy & paste the results directly here for us to read? My computer skills aren't fantastic but I can scan printed papers & change them easily into word documents for sending to others if needed.

> And dr. dave, if you can find any further info on Lexapro from your practice or that of collegues, could you please let us know about them, both pro & con?

> You see, I use Celexa & of all the various SSRIs & ADs I've used before (Prozac, Luvox, Zoloft, Effexor, moclobemide [Manerix], amoxepine, imipramine, & desipramine), Celexa is by far the best. If Lexapro may be even lightly better for me, I'd be interested in giving it a try. But I want my decision to be a sound one based on facts.
** I am tring to be objective...if you feel otherwise..let me know. Would you believe I dont have a scanner...sorry. I'm still looking online...they will show up soon.
