I'm sorry if what I am saying is annoying you. I don't disagree with the findings, which are that switching from citalopram to escitalopram does not cause an increase in side-effects, and that escitalopram (like citalopram) is superior to placebo in treating GAD and as maintenance treatment in depression. None of these papers contribute any evidence to support any claim that escitalopram is superior to citalopram; no comparisons have been made.
Please let's stick to a careful analysis of the data. To reiterate my position - I believe escitalopram is effectively identical to citalopram (a good antidepressant which I continue to prescribe widely). There's nothing wrong with it particularly; but I cannot see convincing evidence that it contributes anything new, nor can I see how it could even hypothetically be better given the pharmacology.
