Re: Luvox and Celexa EXPERIENCES (+pristiq if any)

In reply to Luvox and Celexa EXPERIENCES (+pristiq if any), posted by B2chica on August 13, 2008, at 15:27:54

I gave both Celexa and Lexapro one year trials. My symptoms are generalized anxiety disorder with depression. For me, the Celexa alleviated my symptoms; the Lexapro did nothing for my symptoms. When I took Celexa, it was 20mg/day. It decreased both my anxiety and depression. It did give me a little weight gain (5 to 10 lbs), and there was the anorgasmia that comes with most SSRIs. When I took Lexapro, I was on 40mg/day (a high dose, I'm told). It decreased neither my anxiety nor depression. It made me gain about 10 lbs. However, there were no sexual side effects. Also, I'm a guy. If you are a woman, perhaps the side effects profile would be different. I guess with all these drugs, it's just the annoying process of experiment, experiment, experiment. Good luck. Hope my input helps!

Chris
