"i switched from lexapro to the generic escitalopram one month ago (since the generic is cheaper) and it was a disaster. i felt like i was no longer on medication: severe anxiety attacks, anger, depression, difficulty getting out of bed in the morning. i tried to wait it out for 1 month and then gave up and went back to lexapro because my personal and professional relationships were being affected while i was on the generic escitalopram."
