Hi all.
I tried just about any drug there is I think. Celexa worked best for me in mood terms. I felt a lot better on it. However I stopped it because of sexual side effects and decreased libido. I then tried zoloft and it didn't help + I still had sexual side effects.
Then my doctor mentioned lexapro, and I thought, maybe it's like celexa only with less side effects. I started taking it about 2 months ago (10mg) and my conclusions are:
- lexapro is DIFFERENT than celexa
- lexapro has less side effects and no sexual side effects at all it seems.
- My mood was better with celexa, but somehow I prefer lexapro because I feel more 'myself' than with celexa. It feels milder.

If sexual side effects are your main concern, try lexapro. If not, try celexa first, it's the most helpful of all SSRI's (again, at least for me)
