Hi people. I am really sorry to bug you about a topic that you may have written about already, but I searched the archives in good faith and didn't really see what I need to know. I am switching from Celexa 20 mg to Lexapro 20 mg because the former is not cutting it. I have BPD, anxiety, and PTSD. The BPD is very well controlled but I am trying life with a lower (still therapeutic) Li level (fewer side effects, etc) and using an AD to control the depressions and help with anxiety and PTSD sx. So far, the 20 mg haven't really been cutting it. I've not really noticed any improvement in the depression, but this is my worst time of year. Anyway, in switching from the Celexa to the Lexapro, what side effects am I likely to have? Is the Lexapro helpful for panic disorder?
I heard that 20 mg of Lexapro is equal to 40 Celexa. Does this mean I will have bad side effects at first?Thanks so much for your help!
