Who qualifies for Escitalopram

Escitalopram is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) prescribed for major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). When reviewing your case, the EU-licensed doctor will look for a clear diagnosis of one of these conditions, your medical history (including other medications you are taking), and any contraindications. It's crucial to provide accurate and complete information in your medical questionnaire to ensure a safe and appropriate assessment.

What Escitalopram actually does (and doesn't do)

Escitalopram works by increasing serotonin levels in your brain, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and anxiety. This can lead to improved mood, reduced anxiety, and better control over symptoms associated with depression and anxiety disorders. It's important to understand that Escitalopram is not a 'cure-all' and typically takes 4-6 weeks to reach its full therapeutic effect. You may not feel immediate changes, and consistency is key. It helps manage symptoms, allowing you to engage more effectively with other therapies or lifestyle changes.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Escitalopram can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, insomnia, fatigue, sexual dysfunction, and increased sweating. These are often mild and temporary as your body adjusts. More serious side effects are rare but can include serotonin syndrome or increased bleeding risk. Always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking. Never stop Escitalopram suddenly without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Your Hi-Doctor physician will guide you on managing side effects and safely discontinuing treatment if needed.
