Who qualifies for Escitalopram

Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to determine if Escitalopram is appropriate for you. They will look for specific criteria based on your medical history, current symptoms, and any other medications you are taking. Escitalopram is primarily used to treat major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. It's crucial to provide accurate and complete information in your medical questionnaire. The doctor will assess for contraindications and potential drug interactions to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Escitalopram actually does (and doesn't do)

Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain that helps maintain mental balance. This can lead to an improvement in mood and a reduction in anxiety symptoms. It's important to understand that Escitalopram is not a 'cure-all' and typically takes several weeks to show its full effects. You may start to feel some changes within 1–2 weeks, but significant improvement usually occurs after 4–6 weeks of consistent use. It doesn't instantly remove all stress or sadness, but it can help manage and alleviate the symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Escitalopram can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, insomnia, fatigue, and sexual dysfunction. These are often mild and temporary as your body adjusts to the medication. However, it's important to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects like serotonin syndrome. Always communicate any concerning symptoms with your doctor. Never stop taking Escitalopram abruptly, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness or anxiety. If you and your doctor decide to discontinue treatment, it will be done gradually to minimise discomfort.
