> I was under the impression that the R-enantiomer was detrimental to the effect by impeding serotonin reuptake and being anticholinergic?
I think the R-enantiomer occupies the serotonin transporter without inhibiting its function. It blocks the S-enantiomer from doing its work. Still, I have seen a few people on PB report responding better to citalopram than escitalopram.
