Hi Racie
>Kinda like people saying that water spirals the opposite way on different sides of the equator. A lot of people truly believe that, and it simply isn't true.
LOL I thought that was true!!!
>Yes, many people will repeat something they've heard -- Lexapro is better than Celexa, for instance -- without anything to base it on beyond "I read it somewhere" or "someone said."
People say all sorts of silly things about Lexapro like 'it's half of Celexa so it has half the side effects'. This is very silly indeed ;-) Celexa and Lexapro both owe their efficacy and side effects to the presence of escitalopram. Inevitably, their side effects will be identical or almost identical.
People often respond differently to the same drug at different times in their life. This could explain why some people get different effects from Celexa and Lexapro.
Thanks Racie
