> I need to know if Celexa feels differently than Lexapro for some?
> I know that Lex is SUPPOSED to be only the active metabolite of Celexa, so they're SUPPOSED to be VERY similar.
> But Lex gave me those anxious jitters and started to cause me irritability problems as well.
> I'd like to try Celexa but am wondering if some folks prefer the way Celexa feels over Lex? Does Celexa cause as much anxiety and irritability as Lex or might it be more calming, sedating (I'd LIKE the calming, sedating option!) THANKS for all responses to the "differences" between Celexa and Lexapro!!!
All I can tell you about Celexa and LExapro is that they are not interchangable as my pharmacist and pysch seem to think....for 4 months I was put on one then the other depending on what the pharmacist had in stock...I am still suffering from effects...shakes headaches and nausea and these sort of blackouts...where it feels like my brain sorta re-boots...however for me the Celexa was more mild and I had less side effects from that than from the Lexapro...if that helps any....for me the celexa didn't give me those mood swings wich I prefer over anything...cause it's hard to ANYTHING when you are like snake ready to strike at anytime
