In reply to Went from Celaxa to Lexapro, notice irriatbility, posted by CuriousJane on October 18, 2002, at 20:59:25
> I switched from 30mg of Celexa (which worked fine aside from the total lack of sex drive) to 10mg Lexapro about 7 days ago, and for the last few days I have noticed myself becoming increasingly impatient and frustrated (no one seems to be able to drive right! :). Today I was so frustrated at work I started to cry, which hasn't happened in ages. I have also noticed tension headaches the past few days. No new stresses in my life, so I can only imagine its the meds.

=============================================
No but a close friend did...I posted some reasons why I thought it was happening up earlier in this thread. It may be worth looking into. It's only a little technical but seems especially apropos to your situation....http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20021012/msgs/123451.html
