Brief Answer:
Citalopram vs Escitalopram

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Feliz is brand name of Escitalopram while Cipralex is Citalopram. They are similar but not same. They are like isomers. Both of them are SSRI (serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and both help treat depression but escitalopram can treat GAD (Generalized anxiety).

To my knowledge your doctor is doing right switching.
