Thanks Breezin.  
I will write this name down and talk to my doctor about it the next time I see him.   I will also check out the FDA website for info.  
 
I might have mistated the insurance carrier thing.   They didn't "force" me, but were very persuasive and pushy about the switch.    I caved in.   After all, being in a state of depression doesn't make for a strong backbone....
 
Thanks again, Breezin.

Here in Canada I know benefits plans prefer that you use generics because they are cheaper but I don't think they can force you to use a generic and I don't think they can force you to use a different drug.  It sounds like it is different in the US.
 
In any case I did a little more digging and there is a generic Lexapro manufactured by Alphapharm in the US called Loxalate available in 10, 20 mg.  Rebbie should discuss this generic with her doc.

Hi Rebbie,
 
It is a good that you are having your doctor assist you with this situation. 
 
Members, what have your experiences been with different medications and insurance?

Also if you search the FDA site under "Drugs" you will find the generic escitalopram oxalate

The FDA approved a company to manufacture a generic form of Lexapro in 2006.

Last summer my doctor prescribed Lexapro for my depression.   It was working well and I got a call from my insurance carrier suggesting that I switch to an anti-depressant of their choice because of the cost of Lexapro.   I felt pressured to do it and in October I experienced the worst state of depression I had ever been in.   I was hospitalized for a week (Thanks, Insurance Carrier, you switched my medication and paid for a week in a private mental health facility).   My doctor kept increasing the anti-depressant the insurance company suggested, Celexa,  until I was taking 80 mg. (I started out at 20mg.)   Just recently my doctor re-prescribed Lexapro, and after two weeks, I'm starting to feel much better.   Has anyone else had issues with insurance companies like this?   I know I'm going to be contacted again regarding this drug.   I'm going to have my doctor deal with them this time, but I still find it annoying that insurance companies are controlling so much of the medical field.  Does anyone know if there is a generic form of Lexapro or if one is going to be released soon?

I like feeling good!
