Lexapro is supposed to have less side effects.

I've only taken Lexapro, and it triggered a little hypomania in me for the first week I took it, but I got over it. It is supposed to be the most selective (potent) of all the SSRIs. Also, it's supposed to have less side-effects than Celexa. However, Celexa is available in generic while Lexapro is not, so if price is an issue, then generic Celexa would probably be worth a shot before Lexapro.

Also, In lexapro's PI sheet they even cite celexa studies because the two drugs are so closely related ("first cousins" as my doc put it) |
