No, Lexapro may work better but Lex is just Celexa with the inactive isomer removed. Generally they should both work about the same, but everybody is different. It's just that Lexapro is on patent so it costs a lot more so docs tend to prescribe it more (thinking newer = better.) At least until Lexapro goes generic next year when I'm sure we'll start hearing about some "new and improved" SSRI that happens to be patented.
Here's a message board specifically covering Celexa and Lexapro experiences:
