In reply to Celexa to Lexapro - is it worth it?, posted by bonnie_ann on October 14, 2002, at 20:07:26
That's a really tough question to answer. Even though there is room for improvement, at least your current meds are alleviating your anxiety and depression. So do you leave well enough alone, or go for further improvement?
I don't know what to advise you to do. I personally was on 60 mg Celexa (no other drugs) until a few weeks a go when I switched to 20 mg Lexapro. With Lexapro, I have less daytime tiredness. Also I feel more alert with Lexapro. Unfortunately, I still have the same degree of sexual side effects as I did with Celexa. Not terrible, but still there.
If you do decide to switch give it at least 2 or 3 weeks. If it doesn't work out, you can go back to Celexa. Also if you switch, keep taking the Wellbutrin. It's best to just make one switch at a time.
