Hi
I am just changing from citalopram to escitalopram due to side effects
It's been 2 wks and it was a straight swop
This past week my mood has def got lower and I'm struggling , I am also sleeping such a lot
I just spoke to the Gp and he said it will take 2/3 wks to work
I just thought as it's a very similar drug I'd feel no negative change
Has anyone else done this swop
Forgive me these drugs are called something else in America but I just haven't got the energy to google it
Yes I took both of those years ago and had to switch just the opposite of you from lexapro to celexa (US names) because of my insurance. I don't remember any difference between them actually but it's been a long time. I think the meds can effect people differently too. I hope you get adjusted soon.
I am switching from lexapro to cymbolta. It is a taper off (done) and a taper on. The lexapro wasn't working anymore. Now I am not at a full dose of cymbolta yet and it is hard. I will say when the lexapro was working I feel like it saved my life. Now I am hoping cymbolta will do the same. I am going from an sari to a tri...something... I can't remember and really don't care much right now.
Thank u both
Hi dee I can relate ... life saving, I don't seem to realise just how much this drug does for me until I'm not on it ...
My negative thinking is off the scale at the mo ...
