Hi :-)
>Have they changed the official equivalency ratio?
I don't think it was ever really intended to be an official equivalency ratio, although it was widely treated as such.
When Celexa's patent was about to run out, the manufacturer was busily trying to convince the world that Lexapro was a superior product- they didn't convince me though! Anyway, citalopram is available as a perfectly good generic, which has the advantage of being significantly cheaper than Lexapro.
