But the worst thing about the Celexa is that it's cheaper than Lexapro, and we know how insurance companies like cheaper alternatives.. So every time I changed jobs/insurance companies, they'd say, "There's a cheaper alternative. Have you tried Celexa?" And I'd shout, "YES, it doesn't agree with me!" Argh! Did they think I was taking a more expensive med just because I like spending money?

And I hear you on the negative self chatter. I like to say that what the Lexapro did for me was take away the megaphone from my Inner Critic. The thoughts were still there, but a lot quieter.
