Meds help

[JE55LEW]

If anyone has any experience with either of these meds escitalopram and lexapro which would you use?
I know there the same ssri but one is brand and the other generic and lots of different reviews on google search about them so my only hope is on here where real people have real experiences with them
Thanks

I really hope this one takes for you.  It's terrible when nothing seems to help anymore.  Believe me, I know

I'm in the same boat as the above person, there was no generic when I was on it.  But generally, some believe that quality control is much better with brand names than with generics, and others experience better results with brand names.  I'd try the generic and see if it works for you -- insurance companies are really punishing you now if you use brand names so it makes sense to give the generic a try.

Hi
No not found a med that has helped yet up to now I'm on day 4 of escitalopram and yesterday was a better day for me but still no sleep had to have a zopiclone in the end to get some iv read a lot of people saying the brand (lexapro) is better but that's only on Google wanted some more replays really off people on here who have tried both
Thanks

When I started Lexapro years ago it was still brand name only.  When it became available in generic that's what my insurance paid for.  I noticed no difference at all.  Both worked well for me for a long time.  It seems you've been switching meds a lot recently.  Has nothing helped?  I'm in the same boat as you.
