    Well this is for sertraline/Zoloft but I took lexapro many years ago and celexa is similar, I preferred celexa over lexapro because it seemed to work better.  I started at a very very low dose like a quarter of what I was suppose to start on.  You won’t know unless you try and it was easy to come off.

      I’m sorry I just noticed this.  I don’t get any notifications from here.  The main side effects I had from lexapro were milk stomach issues, sore throat from stomach issues, headache and insomnia:  my daughter and a friend were on celexa so I wanted to try that instead so my doctor let me.  You can just start on a half or a quarter dose to ease into it.
