    Hi,

    In my opinion, there is no comparison, Lexapro 10mg, taken at night. I have been on the generic, escitalopram for 21 days and it has already done wonders for me. I was drowsy and had dry mouth but these side effects went away eventually.

    In my experience and opinion, Lexapro worked better for me. Of course, everyone reacts differently and responds better to different medications.
