Is it possible that celexa10mg could've worked better for me than 20mg of lexapro (escitalopram)? i think so but i heard lex is better but it's made me feel terrible

Very much so ...: Each person reacts to antidepressants differently. It is very possible that you respond more strongly to Celexa than to Lexapro (escitalopram). Unfortunately we don't have advanced pharmacogenetic testing that would allow healthcare providers to determine which antidepressants you would respond best to.
