There is a generic - Danaxil or something like that sold in other countries. Sometimes, it is just sold under its technical name, escotalipram (don't think that's spelled right.) I was sure the patent on Lexapro was to expire in 2012 in the U.S., thus generics would be available then. I guess not b/c I haven't heard anything. There are websites where you can buy Lexapro (It is listed as escotalipram usually.) without a prescription. They're usually based in India. I've heard of people in the U.S. buying from these sites with good results, though I'm kind of scared to. From what I understand, it is not illegal for the customer if it gets stopped coming in the country or whatever - some kind of good faith buying codicil applies.

I was on Lexapro for 5 years. It did not help me remarkably, but it has been better than others I've tried esp. as far as side effects go. I haven't bought it in a while - have no idea what the cost is now. I'm afraid to find out. My doctor would like me to go back on it.
