hi cyb,

>... sorry, but i can't really answer your question
... lex is the only med i've taken
... but from reading the posts on the lex thread, there's a lot of evidence that celexa effects people very differently than lexapro ... even though celexa is the parent of lexapro, the posts suggest that there are more interactions between the other isomer of lexapro than the clinical trials have revealed ...... i have read almost no reports of lex affecting someone the same way as celexa, among folks who have taken both ... and many have expressed surprise at how different they seem .... .... despite their close relationship ...
... i think the posts also imply that lex is even more different than the other ssris ...
.... but i, of course, could be wrong ... ... it's been known to happen !
TAKE CARE !!
