Who qualifies for Lexapro

Lexapro (escitalopram) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat depression and generalized anxiety disorder. When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for specific criteria:

• Diagnosis: A clear diagnosis of major depressive disorder or generalized anxiety disorder, or other conditions where Lexapro is indicated.
• Medical History: No contraindications such as a history of certain heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or a history of bipolar disorder (unless managed).
• Current Medications: No significant interactions with other medications you are currently taking, especially other antidepressants, MAOIs, or certain blood thinners.
• Age: Lexapro is generally prescribed for adults.

The doctor will assess if Lexapro is a safe and appropriate treatment option for your individual health profile.

What Lexapro actually does (and doesn't do)

Lexapro works by increasing the level of serotonin in your brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, sleep, appetite, and other functions. By boosting serotonin, Lexapro helps improve symptoms of depression and anxiety, leading to a more stable and positive mood. It doesn't provide an instant mood lift; instead, it gradually rebalances brain chemistry over several weeks.

You can typically expect to start noticing improvements in mood, sleep, and energy levels within 2 to 4 weeks, though the full benefits may take 6 to 8 weeks to develop. Lexapro is not a sedative or a tranquilizer, and it doesn't offer immediate relief from acute panic attacks. It's a long-term treatment designed to manage and reduce the severity and frequency of depressive and anxious episodes.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Lexapro can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, insomnia, drowsiness, dry mouth, increased sweating, and sexual dysfunction. These are usually mild and often subside within the first few weeks as your body adjusts to the medication.

You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe side effects such as:

• Severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
• Unusual bleeding or bruising
• Seizures
• Symptoms of serotonin syndrome (agitation, hallucinations, rapid heartbeat, fever, muscle stiffness, severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
• New or worsening anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, impulsivity, severe restlessness, or suicidal thoughts.

Never stop taking Lexapro abruptly without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Your doctor will guide you on how to safely reduce your dosage if necessary.
