In reply to Re: Lexapro: 10mg vs 20mg. Any more beneficial??, posted by qbsbrown on November 2, 2005, at 9:05:44
Hi,
>But i've never had any side effects like on lexapro like i did on celexa.
Four possibilities.......
1. You've developed tolerance to the SSRI side effects - usually occurs about 2 weeks into treatment.
2. The side effects have disappeared because you're effectively taking a lower dose - 10mg Lexapro is generally comparable to 20mg Celexa.
3. Placebo - the power of suggestion. When people expect less side effects, they experience less side effects.
4. R-citalopram (the 'inactive' isomer) really was causing side effects.
>However, on the website i like, remedyfind.com, lexapro is the highest rated ssri for all anxiety disoreders
Placebo - Lexapro has been *very* effectively marketed.
Kind regards
Ed
