Why no one should take Nexium and it should never have been approved

1. This happens more often than you think.

One of the most commonly prescribed antidepressants today is Lexapro. (I was actually a participant in the clinical trial for it.) But what they don't tell you is that the active ingredient in Lexapro (escitalopram) is just a more concentrated form of the generic drug citalopram. 2x your Lexapro dosage of citalopram does the same work.

So you can spend $300.00 for a 30 day supply of Lexapro, or you can go to one of the discount generic drug places like Walmart (I'm all for anything that's a loss-leader for them) and spend $10.00 for what will turn out to be a 45-day supply if you get your doctor to write the prescription correctly.

It's a common scam and the FDA and patent office have been all too eager to go along with it for decades.
