In reply to Re: Lexapro - a TRUE test - and I passed! » Mariposa, posted by LynneDa on December 28, 2003, at 20:06:10
Here is something I have noticed from personal experience with both Celexa and Lexapro and was seconded by reading Mariposa's post..and I wanted to see if anyone else experiences this...
When I was taking Celexa I began to notice real improvement around week 4...then seemed to feel a little worse in week 5, maybe not so much worse as it is frustrated with hitting a plateau..I have experienced this same thing with Lexapro...with Celexa around week 7-8-9 the med puts on its "2nd act" where I finally feel like I have fully turned the corner....from reading Mariposa's post it seems that she had this same experience with Lexapro and I certainly hope to have the same...has anyone else experienced something similar to this??
> Mariposa - Congratulations!!! Dealing with the public during Christmas is indeed a true test. I can so emphathize with your excitement over your "test results". I'm very happy for you!!
