Hi,
>I opted to buy generic Lexapro from an online pharmacy site - Cipralex 20 (made in India).
Cipralex isn't a generic, it's the brand name for escitalopram in many countries. The problem with buying online from that type of site is that it's very difficult to know whether the medicine is genuine or counterfeit. Some websites sell very sophisticated counterfeits which can make it difficult to tell. I'm not saying that your medicine is a counterfeit, just that it's a possibility. I really can't say.
>I'm just wonder if it's possible that, even though I've been on Lexapro before, I can get a different reaction when re-starting.
Yes, it's possible. We often hear people report that.
>I feel hazy, very like when I took citalopram.
This can happen when starting citalopram or escitalopram, to be fair.
Hope you're OK until you see your doc.
