Q:I've been taking Celexa and it has been acting as a sort of "generic antidepressant" for me and it works great as an antidepressant but with some other side effects, like a headache or stomach pain.
I am thinking about switching to Lexapro as I have not been able to get any relief from the antidepressant so I am wondering if there is a better solution to help me?
Thanks.
PS. I'm thinking about switching from Lexapro to Celexa but I don't think I can take that drug.
I've been taking Celexa for a while and am finding that it has some of the same side effects as the antidepressant but it has become less effective.
I'd rather take my pill with Celexa than taking it with a generic drug.
Do you have any recommendations on how much of this medication you would be able to take with Celexa and Lexapro?
I have no idea what side effects I could be suffering from and what I should do if I find out. I think I'll go with Lexapro.
I take Lexapro and I am very happy with the results. I took it for 6 months and I've been feeling great for the past 3 months. I think it has caused me to have some issues with my sleep as well. I am considering switching to Lexapro instead.
I'm looking into Lexapro and am thinking if there is anything I can do to help me. I think I'll take Celexa and see if there is anything I can do to improve my sleep. I am also considering switching to Lexapro.
Thanks for the advice!
I have been taking Lexapro for 6 months and have noticed that it has been a little less effective than I thought it would be.
I think that's what led me to stop taking it. I've tried to take it with a small glass of water, but the side effects have been too bad. I think it may be the antidepressant that caused the problem. I'm currently taking a few of my pills to get some sleep.
Thank you so much for your help.
Take care.
I am in my second year of nursing. I've been on Lexapro for about 6 months and haven't noticed any significant changes. I've been taking it for about 2 weeks now. I've been taking it for about 4 months. I've noticed that it has helped with sleep.Thanks again!
