Who qualifies for Escitalopram

Escitalopram, commonly known by brand names like Lexapro, is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). When reviewing your case, our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria:

• A clear diagnosis of MDD or GAD, usually based on your medical history and symptoms described in the questionnaire.
• No contraindications, such as a history of certain heart problems, glaucoma, or allergies to the medication.
• No current use of other medications that could interact dangerously with Escitalopram (e.g., MAO inhibitors, certain antiarrhythmics).
• No severe liver or kidney impairment that would affect how your body processes the medication.

The doctor's assessment ensures your safety and the appropriateness of the treatment.

What Escitalopram actually does (and doesn't do)

Escitalopram works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a natural chemical in your brain that helps maintain mental balance. By boosting serotonin, it can improve mood, sleep, appetite, and energy levels, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

What it does:

• Helps alleviate symptoms of depression and generalized anxiety.
• Typically starts to show effects within 2 to 4 weeks, with full benefits often seen after 6 to 8 weeks of consistent use.
• Can improve overall quality of life by stabilizing mood and reducing anxiety.

What it doesn't do:

• It is not an instant cure; it manages symptoms over time.
• It does not work for every individual; treatment effectiveness varies.
• It does not cause a 'high' or act as a sedative.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Escitalopram can have side effects. Most are mild and temporary as your body adjusts. Common side effects include nausea, insomnia or drowsiness, dry mouth, sweating, and sexual dysfunction. These often subside after the first few weeks.

When to contact a doctor immediately:

• Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of the face/tongue/throat, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).
• Unusual mood or behavior changes, including new or worsening depression, anxiety, panic attacks, or thoughts of self-harm.
• Sudden changes in vision or eye pain.
• Symptoms of serotonin syndrome (agitation, hallucinations, rapid heartbeat, fever, muscle stiffness, loss of coordination, severe nausea/vomiting/diarrhea).

Never stop taking Escitalopram abruptly without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms.
