HI all have been on escitalopram 5mg for 9 weeks now, only had one bad day for the last week, so i can assume it's working, what i would like to know is what's the difference between the two, i have read on here that 10mg was the minimum therapeutic dose, i guess that was a reference to citalopram,

20mg is believed to be the the theraputic dose of citalopram
and the theraputic dose of escitlopram is 10mg. as it's slightly stronger
some people do really well on below the theraputic dose though x
when did you start to notice improvements?

about a week ago, was really beginning to think there really was something seriously wrong with me, now having a whole week feeling ok i think i can convince myself it's all down to anxiety and try and get on with my life.
