When I switched, I first switched to Celexa. Then Lexapro hit the market last year (a more refined version of Celexa) and I switched to Lexapro.
Celexa did work for me within a couple of days. Then when I switched to Lexapro, that worked very quickly.
Keep in mind that if you are on a higher dose of Prozac, you may need to start on a higher dose of Lexapro. I was on 60 mg of Celexa, and switched to 20 mg of Lexapro. That worked very well for about 11 months, then I increased to 30 mg of Lexapro which is my current dose. I am doing very well on 30 mg.
