Lexapro?Do inactive ingredients have side effects

Posted by JaneB on August 31, 2002, at 16:05:44

"Aug. 15, 2002 -- The FDA today approved a new form of the popular antidepressant drug Celexa that promises to treat depression with fewer side effects. The drug, to be sold as Lexapro, was created using a relatively new approach that removed inactive ingredients in Celexa -- yielding a safer and more potent form of the medication."
Is it the inactive ingredients in Celexa which are causing the unwanted side effects?
How can there be fewer side effects from Lexapro unless the inactive ingredients in Celexa are causing them? I don't understand how a more potent form of Celexa will reduce tiredness, blunting, loss of libido, etc.
i.e. Should I switch?
