A study completed in 2006 suggests that for elderly patients Lexipro reduces panic attacks and symptoms of depression and anxiety at an earlier stage of treatment versus Celexa.
The study looked at 40 elderly patients (ages 65 - 78) with recurring anxiety attacks. After two weeks, the Lexipro group experienced significant decrease in panic symptoms. It took the Celexa group at least four weeks to show any decrease. After eight weeks, both the Lexipro and Celexa groups were at similar levels.
