Is there harm is switching from 20 mg of Lexapro (es-Cetalopram) SSRI to Celexa !


Question:

Is there harm is switching from 20 mg of Lexapro (es-Cetalopram) SSRI to Celexa (Cetalopram) in ONE day?

Both are SSRI of the same Cetalopram family; it's just that Celexa is the older version (no 'es' means a shorter half-life). Would switching in 1 day be healthy?


Answers:

It would probably be ok.
Lexapro doesn't require much "weaning" to be able to stop it without ill effects, and if it's being replaced immediatly with another, similar, SSRI, it should be fine.
