You must be in the States, because I am in Canada and Lexapro is not available here yet. Lexapro is Celexa, with the R isomer removed. They say it has less side-effects because of this. It is made by the same company, H. Lundbeck out of Denmark, I believe. They don't get rid of Celexa, because the patent or whatever they call it is expired, so any drug company can make it and sell it, so it will become cheaper. Lexapro on the other hand will remain more expensive, until it is expired.
It sounds like we have a lot of the same symptoms. I don't have Bi-polar, or at least they haven't said so yet. I was told by a pdoc, that I have ADD, but I have never been treated for this. I probably should though. For now though I just want to get rid of the depression.
What other drugs are you on, and what has worked best for you?
Thanks.
