Waves,
Thank you.
I must have used up my mental reserves in phone calls.
I do not understand most of this.
I called the pharmacy. Lexapro is generic now and likely covered by my insurance.
Liguid doses sound too hard. What if I use too much?

Celexa is citalopram. It contains two molecular "forms" in equal proportions. Only one is therapeutically active. The other was thought to be responsible for some of the side effects.
Lexapro is escitalopram, the therapeutically active component of citalopram.
20 mg Celexa contains: 10mg Lexapro + 10 mg inactive "stuff".
If your insurance covers Lexapro, I'd go with that. Otherwise, Celexa is a valid alternative.

I read this a few times.
Now I see. They are almost the same drug.
Lexapro is newer.
I got paresthesia 10 hours after taking 12.5 mgs Zoloft -- so that is not going to work.
