Potency Of Anti-depressant- Escitalopram

Updated

I switched from Zoloft to this generic of Lexapro (Escitalopram 10 mg.) as I was quite wired with Zoloft and couldn't cry. It has been about 8 weeks now and I am not feeling better on the Escitalopram or that it is doing anything. This script is from Walmart with notation (1/G) on front and (250) on back of pill with bold 448 on pkg. of pills to note manufacturer. Is there a difference with manufacturers and drug stores as far as potency? Has anyone else used this particular one? If so, what was your results?

Hello, Tony! How are you?

Actually, it's just likely the Lexapro isn't working for you and you'll need to try something else.

There are many others available that you can discuss with your doctor.

What are you taking it to treat?

Thanks Verwon for replying. I am taking it for depression and anxiety. Really curious on getting a response from someone who is taking this particular pill to see what their experience is. Doc says most of these pills are similar but i wonder how well they are made.
