Q: which antidepressant is better, celexa or lexapro
It really depends how each affect you. We all don't react the same to any one drug. For some, Celexa does a good job while others feel it did nothing, or made them feel even worse. The same with Lexapro and every other antidepressant.
There is a Member Medication Review which Merely Me, a writer, and the community leader for this site put together about a number of antidepressants.
You can read that post about each drug, and some members have made comments of how they worked for them, at the end of each article.
