"currently on 10 mg citalopram and feel wonderful.  i was diagnosed 7/2011 with depression/anxiety and prescribed 5 mg lexapro, i remained on to the end of august 2011.  i did beautifully on lexapro and felt the best i have ever felt in a long time.  upset stomach the first week the only side effect.  my insurance will not cover lexapro, i switched to citalopram.  once again, upset stomach the first couple days the only side effect.  citalopram makes me a bit more drowsy (take 2-3 hrs before bedtime) than lexapro so i am sleeping much better and don&#039;t feel groggy in the morning.  i am very happy and loved ones/friends are even happier."
