Citalopram and Escitalopram

[jayjoe18]

Just wondering if I am correct in thinking that Escitalopram is double the dose of Citalopram? Eg. 5mg of Escitalopram is equivalent to 10mg of Citalopram and so on, is that right?

Yes, that's exactly right. :)

Thanks Sparkle :) So 5mg of Escit isn't as small of a dose as it sounds is it if it's like 10mg of regular Cit? Hope that makes sense, I'm new to this and wonder if I'm going to need a higher dose!
