> Yes my google search compared them to gloves. One fits one way the other the other way if this makes sense? Before changed medicaire RX plans my pdoc got the cost lowered for me but now no idea still two boxes of samples left. I know celexa does nothing for me. Off subject write please med question for you about Son. Thanks Phillipa
~~~ Lexapro (Escitalopram) is the single isomer responsible for the serotonin reuptake inhibition produced by the racemic antidepressant Citalopram. So, parent/child drugs relationshipwise, so to speak.... one sprung from the first. I find the actions different as far as effectiveness for my particular symptoms. I would have no problem using Celexa (Citalopram) IF as effective for me but simply isn't.
Even with coverage, which I am thankful to get, Lex is still quite pricey out of pocket compared to any generic. Rx plans DO NOT like to pay on brand name drugs, generally speaking.... at least, I know of none that do. My experience is they will attempt to make it as difficult as possible... My Father's Medicare Rx plan will allow for coverage of step drugs but again, paperwork to do and followup on. Thankfully, only one med he takes requires that additional work.
My bmail now on and email addy is the same.
