Lexapro…fantastic!
Hi all…I was on the Celexa board, cancelled internet service to
save money while buying a house and now I’m back because we didn’t
realize how much we use it researching everyday things.
Anyway, on to the topic…I was on 30 mgs of Celexa for about 3.5
months and never felt quite “right” on it. Had a hard time getting
to the right dosage and finally settled on 30 mgs. It seemed to
take my Drs office forever to get ahold of my insurance company to
see if they’d reduce the cost for me on Celexa and they were
providing me with samples the whole time. Well, the beginning of
Sept. comes along, still no word from the ins. co. and I need
samples. Needless to say, Celexa stopped sampling out because of
the release of Lexapro and my Dr switched me over. When they handed
me 3 months worth of samples I just prayed that I’d be able to use
them.
I felt wonderful after a week. I’ve been on the Lexapro since Sept.
6. I’ve tolerated this med so well. I’m on 10mgs, had slight
nausea and headaches for a few days but that’s it. I am so glad
that I ran out of samples of Celexa or I may still be on it feeling
only half normal.
Has this med worked quickly for others? Did it work so quickly for
me because I already was on the Celexa? I’m so very happy this med
came out!

It worked really quickly for me, too — I felt a change for the
better within the first three days, I think — but I was also on
Celexa before starting it. One of the advantages of Lexapro is
supposed to be that it works faster than any other antidepressant on
the market.
