In reply to Re: Lexapro Seems like the best of the SSRI's, posted by jono_in_adelaide on February 9, 2013, at 20:40:10
Lexapro (escitalopram) is the S-enantomer of Celexa (citalopram), which is a mixture of the R- & S-enantomers. The S-enantomer has better SSRI activity.
From my experience, Lexapro is generally not as effective as Effexor (venlafaxine), an SSRI/SNRI antidepressant, in the treatment of major depressive disorder, in most people.
