You might give Celexa a try, but seeing as you were using Lexapro, I cant say that it would work for you.

I did notice that I had less anxiety on Celexa then Lexapro and they dont seem to affect liver function in a manner incompatable with the consumption of alcohol, as other AD's can.

May I ask what symptoms the Strattera that you take is prescribed for ?
