Switching from 10 mg Lexapro to 20 mg Celexa generic?
Does anyone know if I will experience any withdrawal symptoms or anything? I've been taking the 10 mg of Lexapro for about a year now. I have new health insurance and Lexapro is about 40 bucks a month. I can get 90 days of Citalopram for $10!!!! So, I just switched yesterday. I didn't wean off the Lexapro, I just replaced it with the Celexa. Today, I feel tired and kind of out of it. Does that sound like a side effect of the switch? Any help would be appreciated.

I was switched from lexapro to celexa for the exact same reason, the sleepy side effect wore off after two days, there was no drop off in effectiveness. I take it now and it works well for me. So, if lexapro worked well for you celexa will also. They are both basically the same drug, which is called citolapram. It is just the way it is formulated that makes it different.

That is indeed a symptom of switching. Just give it a few days and you'll be fine.
Best of luck!
