I took Escitalopram (10 mg) ten years ago for 3 years and it worked perfectly. Then I took it again for 2 years (3 years ago), and again it worked perfectly - went off it cause the issue that brought on my anxieties went away. Have been having anxiety for the last year, went back on it, and it’s not helping. I looked up the cost of Lexapro itself, and it is prohibitedly expensive. If someone is taking a generic which works well, please let me know the manufacturer.
Please report this to the FDA and the Pharm that manufactures it. I truly believe that there is a great deal of difference in generics and the companies that manufacture them. You can also look the manufacturer up and see if they have had citations etc. In particular I experienced this with Zithromycin that was manufactured in India only to find out when I researched them, they had numerous citations from the FDA. My questions would be......Why are the major Drug store chains continuing to purchase from them? "cause they are cheaper! At the expense of the patients!
