In reply to Dr. Switching me from Lexapro to Celaxa, posted by Jayslace on February 12, 2005, at 16:27:15
> Hi everyone!
> My neurologist is treating me for depression. I told him that my Lexapro was working great but the price had gone up from $40 every 3 months to $100 every three months. But I was ok with that because I liked how Lexapro 20mg was helping. I also take Trazadone 100mg at night to help me sleep.
> In the mean time my husband looked up up on the net to see when my Lexapro would get here (we do online ordering with our insurance) and we found out my Dr. switched me to Celexa without even telling me this!
> I'm going to call him Monday, but what do you all think?
> And how do you like Celexa?
> By the way, it's only going to cost me $20 every three months! Yipppee for that ! LOL
> Have a great night!

Hi,
I took lexapro for about a year and it worked pretty well. It is expensive. I found it good for DP but in my case a lower dose of Prozac helps more with anxiety/panic. Anyway, you would have to take 4 20mg celexas for 1 20mg lexapro. I know lexapro is pure form celexa and when I compared I noticed a few minor side effects with the celexa not much. Although Lexapro is expensive, at a 4 to 1 ratio how much different could the cost be. Good Luck. JN
