Escitalopram (Lexapro) came on the market once citalopram (Celexa) lost it patten.

Citalopram (Celexa) also causes mild antagonistic effects at H1 histamine receptors causing drowsiness which is difficulty to tolerate being a young man.

I will share with you that I never start patients on citalopram. Certainly I have patients that are on it for many years and doing fine, so I will not change it, but the better choice for new starts is escitalopram (Lexapro). Escitalopram (Lexapro) is the newer version and is clearer in that it has less potential to cause QT prolongation and 20mgs of citalopram is equal to 10mgs of escitalopram. Escitalopram is considered the best tolerated and has the fewest CYP mediated drug interactions.
