I'm sad to hear about your daughter, jooneybuggy.
I've been one of the skeptical ones where Lexapro is concerned. I'm on Celexa and it works for me just fine. It has not been shown to me that Lexapro is superior to Celexa in any way in my past six months of reading about its actual use in people.
Also, I will wait until it is proven to be better before forking out more money for Lexapro once Celexa's patent has expired and generic citalopram hits the market. I also want to see what this drug does to others well before I test it in myself. I am VERY cautious that way.
Well, I hope that you win your fight to have Lexapro listed on the Death Certificate. Any ethical ME would have included it in his/her report since there WAS Lexapro in her system whether or not it was a contributing factor in her death.
Take Care,
Simcha
