Both are SSRI of the same Cetalopram family; it’s just that Celexa is the older version (no ‘es’ means a shorter half-life). Would switching in 1 day be healthy?

Is there harm is switching from 20 mg of Lexapro (es-Cetalopram) SSRI to Celexa (Cetalopram) in ONE day?

It would probably be ok.
Lexapro doesn’t require much “weaning” to be able to stop it without ill effects, and if it’s being replaced immediatly with another, similar, SSRI, it should be fine.

Not a problem afaik, but considering both are prescription medications, shouldn’t you just ask the person who prescribed them to you? Did you switch doctors and forget to tell them that you were taking Lexapro or what? Also, why switch? Financial reasons or because Lexapro doesn’t work? Because I doubt that Celexa would work if Lexapro doesn’t.
So anyway, I’m basically confused as to why you’re asking Yahoo Answers instead of your psychiatrist. Also, you could ask the pharmacist but the best person to ask is the person who prescribed the drug.
