In reply to Re: Fewer s/e with Lexapro - where's the evidence?, posted by dr dave on September 5, 2002, at 2:31:05

"Evidence" for you is something different than "evidence" for a potential user of Lexapro and also different, I'll bet, for most practitioners. I'm not trying to win a scientific argument. I am trying to make reasonable and, I hope, effective decisions about which medicine to take for a mood disorder. "Evidence" for me means "useful information." For the moment, the best such evidence about Lexapro is the FDA-approved prescribing information that says that the incidence of adverse effects associated with a therapeutic dose of 10mg Lexapro is the same as placebo. That's pretty good reason to believe that Lexapro is worth a try, as compared to the FDA-prescribing info for the alternative SSRIs. In a couple of months we'll have additional "evidence" in the way of the reported experience of Lexapro users and prescribers.
