Hi!
>LOL! Seems like the warnings and side effects are no different to standard Ibuprofen!
Indeed, they are the same! ........but ibuprofen is cheaper.
>Just like Escitalopram!
What an over-hyped drug. I'm still on citalopram, no plans to switch to escitalopram.
I can't believe how much American pdocs are prescribing Lexapro. Talk about effective marketing..... or gullability. It's a rip off. Generic fluoxetine is particularly cheap. In the UK, generic fluoxetine costs the NHS £2 a month (per patient on 20mg) - it's one of the cheapest ADs!
