i thought the same thing...but really, I dont think it is higher. 6% for celexa over 5 years ago from "volunteered" input was low (more like in teens or so...some other ssri's can get over 30%). Sexual s/e werent mentioned back then (pre-viagra...etc). With all the talk about sexual side effects and overall feelings about the topic now, people arent shy about it...so celexa at 6% and Lexapro at 9% isnt necessarily worse...in fact, since the studies are less than a year old...it is probably more accurate. (Even if a little higher, it wasnt bad enough for patients to discontinue...placebo dropout was 4%...Lexapro was 6%)
