Hello again,

Can anyone please provide their experiences with the generic and brand name lexapro.

I have been on brand name lexapro several times before and thankfully it has always worked for me. From the things I’ve read I’m a little hesitant in trying out the generic version.

Hi.

According to the medical profession there should be no difference but from my experience I have always found the brand better but the generic still work well so I would say give it a go and see how you get on.

I've been on and am now back on the generic version. It worked for me and hoping it does again.

S.C. I responded back on that thread as well 🙂

Hibee, that is what I’m thinking as well. I’ve never given the generic brand a try which would be better for my bank account. I’m willing to try it out

I have been on lex brand name at least 4 times in the past. And it has always worked well for me so I’m sure it will work the same for you again. Although each time I start it I always get so nervous to start it. How long have you been on it now?
