What works better, 20 mg of Celexa or 10 mg of Lexapro?!
Question:
What works better, 20 mg of Celexa or 10 mg of Lexapro?
I can't afford to spend any more than $100 a month (I don't have insurance) and I need the medication for anxiety. Celexa as a generic cheaper form, so 20mg would cost me $100, whereas 10 mg of lexapro would cost about $90. Which combination is most effective in anxiety reduction?
Answers:
Talk with your doc about Prozac. It can also reduce your anxiety, and it's only $8/month. They say that it can be "activating" but I didn't have a problem with it and I took it for anxiety.
BTW, celexa is the same as lexapro, but Lexapro only contains the molecules that our body will use. Half of celexa is lex, so 20mg of celexa should be the same at 10mg of lexapro.
Also, celexa is now a generic, so you should be able to get it as such. It's chemical name is citalopram.
