In reply to Lexapro etc- Need a little advice, please!, posted by doggrrl on January 2, 2003, at 19:24:47

I went from 60mg of Celexa, one of 4 drugs I take, to 10mg of Lexapro then to 20. Started right after Lex hit the market. I agree with the other poster, sorry, that you probably would want to start at 10mg.
When I switched over, I noticed less nausea than with Celexa but overall my mood didn't change much. AD's keep my head just above water at best. It's side effect profile is good, it's the cleanest SSRI there is but it still killed the sex thing. I am really tired of that SE-don't get me started.
I can't say much about panic because I take 3mg a day of Clonazepam. That drug quiets the mental ruminating pretty well. Feels good not to be panic strickened just going to work.
I think there are people that said their panic was taken care of by Lexapro.
Lexapro is definately worth a shot. Will you let us know what is up when you switch, how you feel, etc.
I don't know if I said it earlier but you probably will hardly notice switching to Lexapro. That's no guarantee but it has been the norm, from what I've gathered.
