I switched from 30mg of Celexa to 10mg of Lexapro on 10/9. It was my idea--not my docs, to see if my sex drive would come back.
I was fine for the first 4 days, but then started noticing anxiety, frustration and headaches starting on day 5. By day 9 I was a tense, stressed out mess--overreacting to everything. We (doc suggested) tried upping my dose to 15, but that just gave me more muscle tension. My jaw was sooo tight, the pain was awful. Back down to 10 after a few days, but I still had some muscle tension and I felt "flat." I switched back to Celexa on day 17 (I think) and after 3 days back on Celexa I feel like myself again. It just wasn't for me. My dad had a similar experience to mine, but he gave it 5 weeks before switching back.
