A member asked:
Does lexapro (escitalopram) have fewer side effects than prozac?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lexapro/Prozac: Possible since every person's tolerance differs from another. When Lexapro (escitalopram) first came out, it was the improved form of celexa, with less stomach & bowel side-effects, but I have seen patients that can tolerate different ssri's differently. Your doctor can give you good suggestions regarding switch.
