In reply to Celexa to Lexapro?, posted by socalkris29 on October 11, 2003, at 1:17:46
Lexapro has a wide range of side effects~but has worked for me and many others a great deal.
Good luck!> Hi,

Switched to Paxil took for ~2yrs - stopped working. Switched to Celexa 20mg which was working great for 5 yrs except my husband's employer switched insurance companies and the new company considers Celexa non-formulary so I've now been taking 10mg Lexapro for ~3wks and I'm VERY irritable and exhausted all the time.
