i switched from celexa to lexapro b/c of hand tremor; i figured it woudn't be that different and maybe that side effect would lessen. lexapro made me so anxious i was having panic, and i don't have an anxiety disorder. i couldn't tolerate at a high enough dose to treat my depression. celexa is MUCH better for me, much more calming.
seriously, everybody's response is different, so you might be the opposite. when i first went on celexa i felt kind of sleepy, which subsided, but when i first went on lex and then zoloft, i felt SO agitated. which with zoloft also wore off to a certain extent but never completely. i am back on celexa and feeling so much better. i didn't know what i had until i lost it!
just to let you know that you should trust your body and listen to it.
