I think most clinicians have found that Lexapro is more effective than Celexa at all dosages. The study that you provided here (thanks) indicates that once Celexa reaches a steady-state, the R-citalopram enantiomer collects and reaches a greater concentration than the S-citalopram enantiomer, thereby disrupting the therapeutic effect of S-citalopram.
