> > > I took celexa for four months and have been on lexapro for six months since I switched. I find lexapro to work better. Celexa caused severe insomnia for me; however, lexapro does not. The side-effects from lexapro are a little different though: I find that I have a very decreased sex drive with lexapro. I also find that I am a little lazier on lexapro (I think the proper way to define this is 'amotivational syndrome').

I would be interest to know what it felt like. I've been to a cardiologist and the heart seems OK. Pains are centered. Could this be an esophogeal ulcer?

my mom constantly complains of chestpains..but her heart literally stopps for a few seconds because of her mvpshe's not on any SSRI's but she's taken a lot of medications in her life...are you only on lexapro or could it be from another medication? like from something to counteract high blood pressure?
