Lexapro?
I was offered a sample after going off celexa but I was online researching and did not see alot of positive comments. What is the scoop on this stuff?

1. I've tried it.
Not too bad, I think. No side effects and did help my depression. Cymbalta is similar as well......

2. I find it much gentler than Paxil
I'm still taking it. Seems to suit me well. It's a good choice if there's an anxiety component.

Some folks report a Lexapro-induced apathy after some time on the drug. I haven't had that problem.

3. Celexa is available as an inexpensive generic.
Lexapro isn't.

If cost is a concern, try citalopram first. In my own experience there wasn't a lot of difference, and the citalopram cost me less than $10 a month.

In the long run neither worked out well for me, although in a pinch I could probably be uncomfortable but functional on citalopram.

4. I have to say I had a bad experience with it
But it may have been more the total cocktail I was on.
