In reply to To Those Who Switched From Celexa to Lexapro..,,,,, posted by qbsbrown on July 13, 2006, at 11:04:34
I went from 30 Celexa to 10 Lexapro.
As I recall, the reason I switched was because, after I went off of Remeron, I was having trouble sleeping on just Celexa alone. So as an experiment, pdoc said, try this "new" thing called lexapro (it was new at the time) which may have less side effects.
So, on just the lexapro alone, I didn't have trouble sleeping anymore.
But then, a couple years later, I had some mini-relapses of the D and anxiety coming back, so I added back in Remeron.
Now I am on 10 lex, 15 Remeron. This seems like a good combo for me, but I have to be so very careful with my weight. But that is because of the Remeron, not the lexapro, so that's not relevant to your sitch.
I haven't noticed many other differences from lex to celexa...maybe mouth less dry.
