Who qualifies for Escitalopram

Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly prescribed for major depressive disorder and generalised anxiety disorder. When you complete the medical questionnaire, our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure Escitalopram is safe and appropriate for your condition. This includes a thorough review of your medical history, current symptoms, and any other medications you are taking. They assess for contraindications like certain heart conditions, a history of mania, or interactions with other drugs. The doctor's priority is always your safety and well-being, ensuring the treatment aligns with your health profile.

What Escitalopram actually does (and doesn't do)

Escitalopram works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a natural chemical in the brain that helps maintain mental balance. By blocking the reabsorption of serotonin into nerve cells, it makes more serotonin available, which can improve mood and reduce anxiety. You might start to feel the effects within 2 to 4 weeks, though the full benefits often take longer to develop. It is not an immediate cure but a treatment that helps manage symptoms over time. Escitalopram helps regulate mood and anxiety; it does not solve underlying life problems but provides a foundation for you to address them more effectively.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Escitalopram can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, insomnia, fatigue, increased sweating, and sexual dysfunction. These are often mild and temporary. However, if you experience severe side effects such as agitation, confusion, rapid heart rate, muscle stiffness, or seizures (signs of serotonin syndrome), seek immediate medical attention. Never stop taking Escitalopram abruptly without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and anxiety. Your Hi-Doctor physician will guide you on how to manage side effects and when it might be appropriate to adjust your treatment plan.
