Does anyone know if there is a generic form of Lexapro or when there will be?!
Question: I am on Lexapro for anxiety and it is the only medication that has worked for me. The prescriptions are SO expensive but I don't think there is a generic form of it. Don't most medications come up with a generic form? If so does anyone know if or when lexapro will?

The only article about the Lexapro patent I could find mentioned the year 2009 as the year it expires. When a drug company creates a drug it holds the patent to that compound for a certain amount of time. After that time it is permissible for other companies to make the generic.
No generic as I know of, my son takes it
Yes, its called "Celexa". I was looking for an alternative to Lexapro also and thats what my doctor recommended.
Good luck.
Escitalopram is the actual chemical name and the generic but it currently is not available in the USA due to patent laws. Many countries produce it and sell it and it can be obtained from overseas or mexico
