Although Escitalopram(Lexapro) is a dereviative of Citalopram (celexa) and should be very similar in side-effects and effects,in my experience I could not tolerate Lexapro,made me more anxiuos with chills,however Celexa was much more gentle and anxiety- reducing medication
This is my experience with them (However my no1 SSRi has been prozac!).
