I am wondering about the precise exactness of the Lexapro generic since I have been taking it for about three weeks and am experiencing significantly worse symptoms of depression. How is a mere "average guy" to judge quality, sourcing, presence or lack of presence of FDA oversight?

We heard that they jumped the gun on generic Plavix several years ago and it was taken to court. That was supposed to be the hold up for generic. Has this been settled and is the generic for Plavix in the US really coming out in 2012?

I am waiting for Plavix and Diovan hct. can't get here soon enough. have gotten some help direct from manufacturer programs. they will work with you if you do the paper work properly and submit it from your Dr's office. all my other med's are generic and being without insurance you can't beat Wal-Mart pharmacy.

Being uninsured and unemployed is the pits for me because I need the lexapro. Today at walmart they offered me the generic, it saved me $30., any little bit helps. You would think the makers of lexapro would take the stick out and bring the price down to a more manageable price. I think $50 would be about right. I submitted paper work 30 days ago to get free lexapro, and I havent heard from my Doctor yet, that is who they send it to, then I pick it up. Take the stick out lexapro makers!!!

Price relief won't come not one moment too soon for those of us uninsured citizens who are subject to having strokes and TIAs.
