This is for a patient who has severe depression.  It sounds like the doctor is saying they will start her on Prestique 50 mg daily but I have never heard of an antidepressant that is even close to that.  Any ideas?

Subject: a drug that sounds like Celexa- but isn't (sm)

In current med list, the doctor states what sounds like "Celexa 200 mg daily" Since the doc already listed Celexa 20 mg daily earlier in the list, I would guess that she's not just misreading the 20 mg into 200... But my brain is so stuck on that it sounds like Celexa (even though I know it's not) that I can't hear anything else.

If it helps any, patient has GERD, PTSD, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, glucose intolerance, and hypertension.
