Yeah, that's the kicker. Meds for depression cause anxiety and meds for anxiety cause depression or tiredness. I've had no libido on Celexa either. Maybe the Lex will help that. I'm assuming that ou didn't have increased start up anxiety when switching to Lexapro. I've heard that can be a problem but I'm hoping that since Celexa is so similar, it won't be a problem.Is 10mg Lex equal to 20mg of Celexa?
