Re: Anxiety treatment - escitalopram vs citalopram
Both drugs use the same active ingredient. There isn't much of a difference between them is that citalopram blocks some histamine receptors and escitalopram doesn't. For some people, it can make a big difference, for others, both are equally effective. Both are the most selective SSRIs out there. By selective it means the serotonin inhibitors that they target in the brain.
If you want a better explanation that what I can give you (I'm not a biology major) ask Panic Down Under in the meds section.
