In reply to Zoloft verses Celexa, posted by RGD on February 5, 2002, at 6:38:28
I currently take 40 mg Celexa. I have been on Celexa for over 2 years. Previously, I took Prozac, but not Zoloft. Celexa is a very effective drug. For me it works better than Prozac, but everyone reacts differently.
An advantage of taking Celexa is that it has a good side effect profile which will get even better in a couple of months when a new version of Celexa hits the market (called Lexapro).
I think that Celexa may be better than Zoloft if you have anxiety in addition to depression. However, Zoloft should be more "activating" (or energizing) for most people. But the bottom line is that they are both very good and effective antidepressants.
