i guess this is a two-part question. firstly, i was interested in people's personal limits they set when trialling a drug? on 2.5mg of lexapro @ 2 weeks, i've been experiencing: mild sporadic headaches, total sexual numbing, restless leg syndrome and memory loss. i've been told by my psych that i am too impatient in giving up meds, so i just wanted to know how others went about with it? will you usually give an ssri the indicated 8 weeks unless you have like a total seizure? or are you generally quite intolerant? i may go up to 5mg just to see what it's like, but so far things aren't looking up.
which segues into my second question: where i live, the only version of citalopram available is a generic - which also happens to be the last mainstream ssri i haven't tried. i was told as a generic it will be less potent, but also may have less sfx, so was thinking of making the transfer. has anyone ever found their ideal ad counterpart in a generic?
