In reply to Re: Lexapro: 10mg vs 20mg. Any more beneficial??, posted by qbsbrown on November 1, 2005, at 13:08:07
> And the benefits are the same as celexa, correct? Same drug, just minus the isomer that was useless, and causing more side-effects
~~~ My understanding is that Lex is an isomer of Celexa - a "cleaner" version. I never tried Celexa. There are a number of folks who would say drug companies go into rearranging a few molecules to keep a patented product. It does seem to happen when drugs are already or close to becoming available in generic. At any rate, I have read of folks who went from Celexa to Lex and didn't like it, but I've read the opposite, too....all in what appears to fit.
