I asked my Insurance company after I found out the cost, and she looked it up and told me NO! there is not a genric form of Lexapro, (sorry guys, i hate the cost myself) The patent on Lexapro runs out in 2012, after which time a generic version (escitalopram oxalate) will be available.

∙ 14y agoI recently asked the same question to planetdrugsdirect.com who is selling a generic for Zyprexa . I haven't heard anything from them yet but news releases refer to several companies being allowed to develop a generic as far back as 2005. We cannot afford the $450 price tag. This website does sell the name brand at a deep discount. I haven't personally purchased from them but plan to do so this week. They have gotten great reviews. Hope this helps.
