You should not be concerned about Celexa being less effective after a year at 40 mg. If you had raised the dose, it would have kept working.
I am on Lexapro and have been for a long time. Before that, I took Celexa for a long time. They are similar. I think that Lexapro caused a bit less tiredness for me. But I am not tired anymore because a few months a go I added Concerta.
> I submitted a post about this previously, but no one has responded to it yet. I need to know what people think about the differences between Celexa and Lexapro. I can't decide which one I want to take. Although I used Celexa successfully for years, it seemed to stop working for me after about a year at 40 mg. I have been taking 10 mg. Lexapro for the past couple of weeks with terrible nausea. I've tried almost every other drug out there and these are the two that seem to work best for my mood, but they both seem to have drawbacks. Can someone please give me an outside opinion? Thanks.
