In reply to why is LEXAPRO better than CELEXA??, posted by smittay17 on January 26, 2004, at 15:16:46
Celexa has 2 ingredients; one that is an antidepessant, and another which is not an antidepressant but might cause side effects.
Lexapro only contains the active ingredient (the S enantiomer).
When an antidepressant does not work, the next step is to increase the dose. For example, I take 30 mg of Lexapro each day. If I only took 10 mg, then I would say that Lexapro does not work for me. Don't give up on any antidepressant until you increase the dose.
