You site the same studies that have opposite conclusions from what you are saying. The Sanchez study showed that s-citalopram is acutally being inhibited from r-citalopram in the microdialysis study. that 2mg of s-cit/Lexapro was more effective than 4mg of Celexa (2mg of s-cit + 2mg of r-cit). Therefore indicating that the r-cit does not help the racemic mixture at all.....and you said "s-citalopram is all that they realistically had." Did you know that the technology used to separate the isomers is so new that the scientists that invented it won the Nobel prize for chemistry for 2001? Lundbeck and Forest are not sitting and waiting, but being proactive and trying to develop better medicine....why dont you try it instead of being Dr. Theory all the time. Afterall, you are in Europe and have had the opportunity where we in the US have not.
